Question

How many L of solution do you have if you dissolve 5 moles of salt in enough water to make a 0.5 M solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

10L

Explanations:

The formula for calculating the molarity of a solution is expressed as:

$molarity=\frac{moles}{volume}$

Given the following parameters

• Moles of salt = 5 moles

,

• Molarity of solution = 0.5M

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

$\begin{gathered} volume=\frac{moles}{molarity} \\ volume=\frac{5moles}{0.5M} \\ volume=10L \end{gathered}$

Hence the required volume of the solution is 10L
