Using Molarity to Calculate Volume of Solution
How many liters of a 2.00 M NaCl solution are needed to provide 67.3 g of NaCl?
STEP 1 State the given and needed quantities.
STEP 2 Write a plan to calculate the volume.
grams of NaCl Molar mass moles of NaCl Molarity liters of NaCl solution
STEP 3 Write equalities and conversion factors.
1 mole of NaCl=58.44 g of NaCl1 mole NaCl58.44 g NaCl and 58.44 g NaCl1 mole NaCl
1 L of NaCl solution =2.00 moles of NaCl1 L NaCl solution 2.00 moles NaCl and 2.00 moles NaCl1 L NaCl solution
STEP 4 Set up the problem to calculate the volume.
