What is the concentration of a solution if 2.0 moles of sodium chloride is dissolved in 0.50 liter of water?
To calculate the concentration of the solution, we need to use the formula:
Concentration (molarity) = moles of solute / liters of solution
Given that 2.0 moles of sodium chloride is dissolved in 0.50 liters of water, we can plug in the values:
Concentration = 2.0 moles / 0.50 L
Concentration = 4.0 M
Therefore, the concentration of the solution is 4.0 M (moles per liter).
