How many moles of lithium carbonate are contained in 400 mL of a lithium carbonate solution with a concentration of 0.015 mol L-1? Give your answer as two sig. figures, followed by a space and the units
mols = M x L = ?
What is M and L ?
To find the number of moles of lithium carbonate in the given solution, you can use the formula:
moles = concentration x volume
First, convert the given volume from milliliters (mL) to liters (L):
400 mL = 400 mL ÷ 1000 = 0.4 L
Next, substitute the values into the formula:
moles = 0.015 mol L^(-1) x 0.4 L
Simplifying the expression:
moles = 0.006 mol
So, there are approximately 0.006 moles of lithium carbonate in 400 mL of the solution.
