Question

Calculate the volume in liters of a 0.00231M copper(II) fluoride solution that contains 175.g of copper(II) fluoride CuF2. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume = 746 L

Explanation:

Given that:- Mass of copper(II) fluoride = 175 g

Molar mass of copper(II) fluoride = 101.543 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{175\ g}{101.543\ g/mol}$

$Moles_{copper(II)\ fluoride}= 1.7234\ mol$

Also,

Considering:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

So,,

$Volume =\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Molarity}$

Given, Molarity = 0.00231 M

So,

$Volume =\frac{1.7234}{0.00231}\ L$

Volume = 746 L
