If 3.02 g of CuNO3 is dissolved in water to make a 0.560 M solution, what is the volume of the solution in milliliters?

Respuesta :

Answer: The volume of the solution is 28.75 mL

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

[tex]\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (mL)}}[/tex] .....(1)

Given values:

Molarity of copper nitrate = 0.560 M

Given mass of copper nitrate = 3.02 g

Molar mass of copper nitrate = 187.56 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

[tex]0.560=\frac{3.02\times 1000}{187.56\times \text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{3.02\times 1000}{187.56\times 0.560}=28.75mL[/tex]

Hence, the volume of the solution is 28.75 mL
