Question

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 6 moles of solute in 2 liters of solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

3mol/L or 3mol/dm³

Explanation:

Given:

solution contains 6 moles of solute consider it 'n' i.e 6 moles

Volume of solution consider in 'V' i.e 2 liters

Required:

Molarity of solution 'M'=?

Formula:

In order to find  Molarity of a solution, no.of moles of solute divided by Vol.of solution in litres (∴ number of moles in 1 litre of solution)

Molarity = no.of moles of solute/Vol.of solution in litres or dm³

Calculations:

M= 6mol/2L =

M= 3mol/L or 3mol/dm³

Therefore, the molarity of a solution that contains 6 moles of solute in 2 liters of solution is 3mol/L or 3mol/dm³
