Question

What is the concentration of a solution containing:

Answer 1

a. 2 M

b. 1.5 M

Further explanation

Given

a 4 moles in 2 dm of solution?

b 0.3 moles in 200 cm3 of solution

Required

The concentration of a solution

Solution

Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solution or mmol in each ml of solution

Can be formulated :

$\large \boxed {\bold {M ~ = ~ \dfrac {n} {V}}}$

a.

moles(n) = 4

volume(V)=2 L solution

M = 4 : 2 = 2

b.

moles(n)=0.3

volume(V)=200 cm3 = 0.2 L

M = 0.3 : 0.2 = 1.5
