Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 3.3 \ liters}}}

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter.

molarity=\frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}}

The solution has a molarity of 1.2 M or 1.2 moles per liter. There are 4.0 moles of NaCl, the solute. We don't know the liters of solution, so we can use x.

  • molarity= 1.2 mol/L
  • moles of solute= 4.0 mol
  • liters of solution =x

Substitute the values into the formula.

1.2 \ mol/L = \frac{4.0 \ mol}{x}

Since we are solving for x, we must isolate the variable. Begin by cross multiply (multiply the 1st numerator and 2nd denominator, then the 1st denominator and 2nd numerator.

\frac {1.2 \ mol/L}{1}=\frac{ 4.0 \ mol}{x}

4.0 \ mol *1=1.2 \ mol/L *x

4.0 \ mol = 1.2 \ mol/L *x

x is being multiplied by 1.2 moles per liter. The inverse of multiplication is division, so divide both sides by 1.2 mol/L

\frac{4.0 \ mol}{1.2 \ mol/L} = \frac{1.2 \ mol/L *x}{1.2 \ mol/L}

\frac{4.0 \ mol}{1.2 \ mol/L}=x

The units of moles (mol) will cancel.

\frac{4.0 }{1.2 } \ L =x

3.33333333 \ L=x

The original measurements both have 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, this is the tenths place.

The 3 in the hundredth place tells us to leave the 3 in the tenths place.

3.3 \ L\approx x

Approximately  <u>3.3 liters of solution</u> are needed to make a 1.2 M solution with 4.0 moles of sodium chloride.
