Question

Calculate the volume of a 0.200 M KCl solution containing 5.00 10-2 mol of solute. Enter your answer in the provided box. IL

Answer 1

The volume of a 0.200 M KCl solution containing 5.00 10-2 mol of solute is 0,25 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity (M) means: moles of solute which are contained in 1 L of solution.

In this case we have 0,2 moles which are in 1 L, so, as we have 5x10*-2 moles we have to apply a rule of three to find out the volume.

0,2 moles ........... 1 L

5x10*-2 moles ........... x

x= (5x10*-2 moles . 1 L) / 0,2 moles = 0.25L

(we can also say 250 mL)
