Question

If you have 16 g of manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate, how much water is required to prepare 0.16 M solution from this amount of salt? OL 0 0.01 L the task is impossible, as manganese nitrate is insoluble in water O 0.10 L 398 ml

Answer 1

Answer: The volume of water required is 398 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

`\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}* 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}* \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}`

We are given:

Mass of solute (manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate) = 16 g

Molar mass of manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate = 251 g/mol

Molarity of solution = 0.16 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`0.16M=\frac{16g* 1000}{251g/mol* \text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=398mL`

Hence, the volume of water required is 398 mL
