If 5.88 g of CuNO3 is dissolved in water to make a 0.100 M solution, what is the volume of the solution in milliliters?

Answer 1

Hello, Bri,

The definition of Molar is (moles solute)/1 Liter. We need the molar mass of CuNO_3, (125.6 g/mole) in order to determine how many moles of CuNO₃ are in 5.880 grams. Use the definition of Molar with the known information where x is the volume of solvent (water) required to yield a 0.100 M solution using all of the moles of CuNO₃.

M = moles/Liter

0.100M = 0.047 moles/x

x = 0.468 L (3 sig figs)

Multiply by 1000 to get ml.

I hope this helps,

Bob
