Question

What is the molarity of a 10 L solution containing 5.0 moles of solute?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Number of moles consisting in a liter of solution is known as molarity.

Mathematically,       Molarity = \frac{\text{no. of moles}}{\text{Volume in one liter}}[/tex]

It is given that volume is 10 liter and there is 5.0 moles of solute. Hence, we will calculate the molarity as follows.

                 Molarity = $\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{\text{Volume in one liter}}$

                                = $\frac{5.0 mol}{10 liter}$

                                = 0.5 mol/L

Thus, we can conclude that molarity of the given solution is 0.5 mol/L.

Answer 2

Molarity = Moles of solute/ L(liters) of solution

So let's plug in the information. 

5.0 moles/10L = 0.5 M
