Question

How many liters are in a .00813M solution that contains 1.55 g of KBr?

Answer 1

Answer:

                      1.602 L (or) 1602 mL

Explanation:

             Molarity is the amount of solute dissolved per unit volume of solution. It is expressed as,

                         Molarity  =  Moles / Volume of Solution    ----- (1)

Rearranging above equation for volume,

                         Volume of solution  =  Moles / Molarity    -------(2)

Data Given;

                  Molarity  =  0.00813 mol.L⁻¹

                  Mass  =  1.55 g

First calculate Moles for given mass as,

                   Moles  =  Mass / M.mass

                   Moles  =  1.55 g / 119.002 g.mol⁻¹

                   Moles  =  0.0130 mol

Now, putting value of Moles and Molarity in eq. 2,

                         Volume of solution  =  0.0130 mol / 0.00813 mol.L⁻¹

                         Volume of solution  = 1.60 L

or,

                         Volume of solution  =  1602 mL
