what volume ( in mL) of a 0.680 M KBr solutionwould you need if you want 4.00 grams of KBr?

Solve for moles needed to obtain 4.00g:

4.00g*(mole/119.002g)=0.033612 moles

Molarity (M)= moles/Volume (L)

You know moles needed to obtain 4.00g of KBr; you know Molarity of the solution.

Solve for volume:

0.680 M=0.033612 moles/Volume (L)

Volume (L)=0.033612 moles/0.680 M

Volume (L)=0.0494 L or 494 mL

They answer above isn't correct nor has the correct number of significant figures.

I aplogize, there is a typo in the above post.

Look for ** for correction.

Math is correct, just thought I saw 6M, not 0.680M and yes the last zero should be taken as a sig fig. Apologies.

To determine the volume of a 0.680 M KBr solution needed to obtain 4.00 grams of KBr, we can use the formula:

moles = mass / molar mass

First, calculate the number of moles of KBr using the given mass:

molar mass of KBr (potassium bromide) = atomic mass of K (potassium) + atomic mass of Br (bromine)
= 39.10 g/mol + 79.90 g/mol
= 119.00 g/mol

moles = mass / molar mass
= 4.00 g / 119.00 g/mol
≈ 0.0336 moles

Now, we can use the formula for molarity to find the volume:

moles = molarity * volume
volume = moles / molarity

volume = 0.0336 moles / 0.680 M
≈ 0.0494 L

Finally, convert the volume from liters to milliliters:

volume = 0.0494 L * 1000 mL/L
= 49.4 mL

Therefore, you would need approximately 49.4 mL of a 0.680 M KBr solution to obtain 4.00 grams of KBr.

Moles = Molarity x Volume in Liters => Volume (L) = moles KBR / Molarity of Solution

Molarity (given) = 6-Molar in KBr = 6-moles KBr/L soln
Moles KBr in 4.0-g = 4.0-g/119-g/mole = 0.034-mole KBr
Therefore, Vol(L) of 6M solution containing 4-g KBr = 0.034-mole KBr / 6-mol/L soln =0.0056-L x 1000-ml/L = 5.6-ml.
