Question

How many L of solution do you have if you dissolve 5 moles of salt in enough water to make a 0.5 M solution?

Answer 1

10L

Explanations:

The formula for calculating the molarity of a solution is expressed as:

`molarity=(moles)/(volume)`

Given the following parameters

• Moles of salt = 5 moles

,

• Molarity of solution = 0.5M

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

`\begin{gathered} volume=(moles)/(molarity) \\ volume=(5moles)/(0.5M) \\ volume=10L \end{gathered}`

Hence the required volume of the solution is 10L
