During a quality check, a sodium chloride solution is prepared for analysis. The technician records the following information.
| Quantity | Value |
|---|---|
| Volume of solution used before dilution | 40.0 cm3\mathrm{cm^{3}}cm3 |
| Total volume after water is added | 160 cm3\mathrm{cm^{3}}cm3 |
| Concentration after dilution | 12.0 g/dm3\mathrm{g/dm^{3}}g/dm3 |
What was the concentration of the original solution?
12.0 g/dm3\mathrm{g/dm^{3}}g/dm3
192 g/dm3\mathrm{g/dm^{3}}g/dm3
48.0 g/dm3\mathrm{g/dm^{3}}g/dm3
3.00 g/dm3\mathrm{g/dm^{3}}g/dm3
