Question

You need to make an aqueous solution of 0.182 M aluminum sulfate for an experiment in lab, using a 250 mL volumetric flask. How much solid aluminum sulfate should you add

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, 15.99 g of solid Aluminum Sulfate should be added in 250 mL of Volumetric flask.

Explanation:

To make 0.187 M of Aluminum Sulfate solution in a 250 mL (0.250 L) Volumetric flask  

The molar mass of Aluminum Sulfate = 342.15 g/mol  

Using the molarity formula:-  

Molarity = Number of moles/Volume of solution in a liter  

Number of moles = Given weight/ molar mass  

Molarity = (Given weight/ molar mass)/Volume of solution in liter  

0.187 M = (Given weight/342.15 g/mol)/0.250 L  

Given weight = 15.99 g
