1. List initial species present in the combined
solution before any reaction occurs, and decide what reaction will
occur.
2. Write balanced
molecular (or net ionic) equation for this reaction.
3. Calculate moles of
reactants. Use the volumes of the original solutions and their
molarities.
4. Determine limiting reactant
where appropriate.
5. Calculate moles of required
reactant/product.
6. Convert to grams or volume
(of solution) or concentration as required.
