Answer:
1.155 moles of potassium nitrate are required to make 550 mL of a 2.1M solution.
Explanation:
In a mixture, the chemical present in the greatest amount is called a solvent, while the other components are called solutes.
Molarity is a unit of concentration of a solution and indicates the amount of moles of solute that appear dissolved in each liter of the mixture. In other words, the Molarity (M) or Molar Concentration is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.
The Molarity of a solution is determined by the following expression:

Molarity is expressed in units (
).
In this case:
- Molarity= 2.1 M
- number of moles of solute= ?
- Volume= 550 mL= 0.550 L (being 1L=1000 mL)
Replacing:

Solving:
number of moles of solute= 2.1 M* 0.550 L
number of moles of solute= 1.155 moles
1.155 moles of potassium nitrate are required to make 550 mL of a 2.1M solution.
This uses something called <span>Le Chatelier's principle. It states essentially that any stress put upon a system will be corrected.
In more simple terms, it means that in an equilibrium, such as the equation N2(g) + 3H2(g) <=> 2NH3(g), removing a reactant will cause the system to create more of said reactant to compensate for its loss, or adding excess reactant will cause the system to remove some of the added reactant. For future reference, the same principle applies to products in an equilibrium as well.
In this case, hydrogen gas is a reactant, and hydrogen is being removed. According to </span><span>Le Chatelier's principle, the system will shift to create more hydrogen gas. In essence, it will shift in the direction of the hydrogen gas, so there will be a shift toward the reactants.
To clear something up, Keq will not change, as it is a constant value with constant conditions (such as temperature, pressure, etc.).</span>
