Answer:
CH3COOH would be more concentrated
Explanation:
The higher the concentration value, the more concentrated it is.
The relationship between concentration, moles and volume is given by the equation;
Concentration = No of moles / Volume
5.0 grams of HCOOH dissolved in 189 mL of water
Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass = 5 / 46.03 = 0.1086 mol
Concentration = 0.1086 / 0.189 = 0.5746 mol/L
1.5 moles of CH3COOH dissolved in twice as much water
Volume = 2 * 189 = 378 ml = 0.378 L
Concentration = 1.5 / 0.378 = 3.9683 mol/L
Comparing both concentration values;
CH3COOH would be more concentrated
