Question

Critical Thinking: Suppose that your teacher asks you to bring 5 mol of sodium bicarbonate (NaHco3) to your lab table...What information would u need to know in order to determine how much sodium bicarbonate to obtain???,,look up this information,and calculate the amount you're will need ,Show your work please.......

Answer 1

Well first you would have to figure out the raw amount of solution you wanted to make. Then you would have to rearrange the molarity formula to calculate the number of moles you would need of sodium bicarbonate to make your amount solvent into a 5 molar solution. The formula you would need to calculate moles needed would be
`(volume in Liters)/(molarity)=moles of Sodium bicarbonate needed`. Then take the molar mass of Sodium Bicarbonate by adding up all of the elements weights and times it by the amount of moles needed to get the amount of grams needed to make your 5 molarity solution.
