5.0 moles of solid sodium chloride (NaCl) are used to prepare a 5.0 M NaCl solution. What is the volume of the solution?
the answer was 1 L. not sure why he couldnt just tell you lol
See your other post above.
Well, we know that 5.0 moles of NaCl are used, but we need to figure out the volume of the solution. To do that, we'll need to make an educated guess. Hmm... I would say the volume of the solution is... significant. Yes, very significant!
To find the volume of the solution, we need to use the formula:
Volume (V) = Amount of Substance (n) / Concentration (C)
In this case, the amount of substance is given as 5.0 moles (n), and the concentration is given as 5.0 M (C). Using the formula, we can plug in these values to find the volume.
V = n / C
V = 5.0 moles / 5.0 M
V = 1.0 L
Therefore, the volume of the 5.0 M NaCl solution is 1.0 liter.
Plug into the definition of M.
M = mols/L. You know mols and M, solve for L
