Answer:


500\text{ mL}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the maximum volume of solution that can be produced

Given:

Molarity = 1.8 M

Number of Moles = 0.9 moles

Find:

Volume

Equation Used:

Number of moles = molarity * volume

Answer:


\begin{gathered} 0.9\text{ = 1.8 }*\text{ V} \\ V\text{ = }(0.9)/(1.8) \\ V=0.5dm^3 \end{gathered}

To convert this to mL, we multiply the volume by 1000 since 1 L = 1000 mL

Thus, we have it that:


0.5\text{ }*1000\text{ = 500 mL}
