How many moles of acetic acid are present in 10.00 mL if the concentration is 0.500M HC2H3O2?
mols = M x L if liquids.
mols = grams/molar mass if solids.
To find the number of moles of acetic acid, you need to use the formula:
Moles = Concentration (in M) x Volume (in L)
First, convert the given volume from milliliters to liters by dividing it by 1000:
10.00 mL ÷ 1000 = 0.010 L
Next, you can substitute the given values into the formula:
Moles = 0.500 M x 0.010 L
Now, solve the equation:
Moles = 0.005 moles
Therefore, there are 0.005 moles of acetic acid present in 10.00 mL of a 0.500 M HC2H3O2 solution.
