Question

To make a 0.500 M solution, one could take 0.500 moles of solute and add Group of answer choices enough solvent to make 1.00 kg of solution. enough solvent to make 1.00 L of solution. 1.00 L of solvent. 1.00 kg of solvent.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct option is enough solvent to make 1.00 L of solution

Explanation:

A solution consists of solute and solvent. A solute is defined as the component present in a smaller proportion while the solvent is defined as the component that is present in a larger proportion.

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume}$ .......(1)

We are given:

Molarity of solution = 0.500 M

Moles of solute = 0.500 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.500mol/L=\frac{0.500mol}{\text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{0.500mol}{0.500mol/L}=1.00L$

Hence, the correct option is enough solvent to make 1.00 L of solution
