Which statement best explains how the solution should be made?

Use the dilution relationship: the amount of H2SO4 stays the same when water is added. Adding 1.5 mL of 4.00 M H2SO4 provides 4.00 × 1.5 = 6.0 mmol; in a total volume of 12 mL, that gives 6.0 ÷ 12 = 0.50 M. So the solution should be made by adding 1.5 mL of 4.00 M H2SO4 to 10.5 mL of water.
