Elements on the right side of the Periodic Table gain electrons in order to get the 8 valence electrons and form negative ions.

And elements on the left side of the Periodic Table lose electrons in order and form positive ions.

How many liters of a 1.5 M solution can you make if you have .50 mol of KCl?

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.33 liters

Explanation:

Data

Volume = ?

Molarity = 1.5 M

number of moles = 0.5

Formula

$Molarity = \frac{number of moles }{volume}$

Solve for V

$Volume = \frac{number of moles}{molarity}$

Substitution

$Volume = \frac{0.5}{1.5}$

Simplification and result

Volume = 0.33 l
