Question

5. How many liters of solution can be produced from 3.5 moles of solute if a 4.0 M solution is needed?

Answer 1

0.875 L of solution

Procedure

Molarity (M) is defined as:

M= Moles/L solution

Solving for L we have

`L\text{ }of\text{ }solution=\frac{moles\text{ }of\text{ }solute}{M}=\frac{3.5\text{ mol}}{4.0\text{ M}}=0.875\text{ L}`
