Question

What is the molarity of a solution if 5 moles of solute are dissolved in 8 L of solvent.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.625mol/L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of solute = 5moles

Volume of solvent = 8L

Unknown:

Molarity = ?

Solution:

Molarity is the number of moles of solute per unit volume of solution. It is mathematically expressed as

  Molarity  = $\frac{number of moles }{Volume}$  

  Molarity  = $\frac{5}{8}$   = 0.625mol/L
