Question

What is the molarity of a solution containing 5 moles of solute in 250 milliliters of solution?

Answer 1

M=mol/L
= 5/.25
=20

Answer 2

Answer: The molarity of a solution is 20 M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles present in one liter of solution.

Mathematically,

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Moles of solute = 5 moles

Volume of solution = 250 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{5\times 1000}{250}=20M$

Hence, the molarity of a solution is 20 M
