vf = l

Explanation:

Step1: Identify dilution formula

$M_1V_1 = M_2V_2$

Step2: Assign values

$M_1=14\ M$, $V_1 = 55\ mL=0.055\ L$, $M_2 = 0.134\ M$, $V_2$ is unknown.

Step3: Solve for $V_2$

$V_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{M_2}=\frac{14\ M\times0.055\ L}{0.134\ M}$
$V_2=\frac{0.77}{0.134}\ L\approx5.7\ L$

Answer:

$5.7\ L$
