Question

Lithium hydroxide is used in alkaline batteries. Calculate the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 1.495 moles of LiOH in enough water to give a final volume of 750. mL.

1) 1.99 M
2) 1.50 M
3) 1.12 M
4) 0.502 M
5) 0.00199

Answer 1

Answer:1)1.99 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity is given as = moles solute/Liter solution

The solute which is LiOH is already given in moles as 1.495 moles

Given that solution is 750 mL, we convert to liters.

Liters of the solution= mL of the solution x (1 L/1000 mL)

750 mL x (1 L/1000 mL)

0.75 L

Molarity = moles solute/Liter solution

Molarity = 1.495 moles of LiOH/0.75 L of solution

Molarity = 1.99M

The molarity of this solution is 1.99M (moles per liter).
