How many liters of .0020 M iodine solution can be made from .050 moles of iodine (I2)?
moles/volume= concentration
volume= moles/concentration= .050/.002 liters
To find out how many liters of a given concentration solution can be made from a certain amount of solute, you can use the formula:
(Number of moles of solute) / (Molarity of solution) = Volume of solution in liters
So let's calculate it step by step:
1. Determine the number of moles of iodine (I2):
Given: Amount of iodine (I2) = 0.050 moles
2. Determine the volume of the solution using the formula mentioned above:
Number of moles of solute = 0.050 moles
Molarity of solution = 0.0020 M
Volume of solution (in liters) = (0.050 moles) / (0.0020 M)
Now, let's calculate the volume of the solution:
Volume of solution = 0.050 moles / 0.0020 M
Using the equation:
Volume of solution = (0.050 moles) / (0.0020 M)
Dividing 0.050 moles by 0.0020 M gives:
Volume of solution = 25 liters
Therefore, you can make 25 liters of a 0.0020 M iodine solution using 0.050 moles of iodine (I2).
