QUESTION:
Calculate the volume inmL of a solution required to provide the following: (a) 2.14 g of sodium chloride from a 0.270 M solution, (b) 4.30 g of ethanol from a 1.50 M solution, (c) 0.85 g of acetic acid \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\right)\) from a 0.30 M solution.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
Here we have to calculate the volume of the solution in mL.
(a) 2.14 g of sodium chloride from a 0.270 M solution
We can calculate the volume of a solution from its molarity. It is known that the molarity of a solution can be calculated as follows,
Molarity =
Hence volume of solution =
Here it has been given that,
Mass of NaCl = 2.14 g
Molarity = 0.270 M
Molecular weight of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol
In order to calculate the volume, 1st we have to find out the number of moles,
Number of moles of NaCl =
= = 0.03662 mol of NaCl
Now the volume can be calculated as,
volume of solution =
= = 0.136 L or 136 mL solution
Hence the volume of NaCl is found to be 136 mL.
