Question

What is the molarity when 8.0 moles of solute are dissolved in 1.5 liters of solution?

12 M


5.3 M


8.0 M


1.5 M

Answer 1

5.3m is the right answer.

Answer 2

5.3 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

• Moles of solute: 8.0 moles

• Volume of solution: 1.5 liters

The molar concentration or molarity (M) is the quotient between the moles of solute and the volume of solute expressed in liters.

M = moles of solute / volume of solution (L)

M = 8.0 mol / 1.5 L

M = 5.3 mol/ L = 5.3 M

The molarity of the solution is 5.3 M.
