Question

1. How many liters of a 0.50 M solution are needed to give 3.5 moles of solute?

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of solution in liters required to make a 0.250 M solution from 3.52 moles of solute is 14.08 liters of solution

Explanation:

The question relates to the definition of the concentration of a solution which is the number of moles per liter (1 liter = 1 dm³) of solution

Therefore we have;

The concentration of the intended solution = 0.250 M

Therefore, the number of moles per liter of the required resolution = 0.250 moles

Therefore, the concentration of the required solution = 0.250 moles/liter

The volume in liters of the required solution that will have 3.52 moles of the solute is given as follows;

The required volume of solution = The number of moles of the solute/(The concentration of the solution)

∴ The required volume of solution = 3.52 moles/(0.250 moles/liter) = 14.08 liters

The required volume of solution to make a 0.250 M solution from 3.52 moles of solute = 14.08 liters.

Therefore the number of liters required to make a 0.250 M solution from 3.52 moles of solute = 14.08 liters.
