Answer:

4.6g

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following parameters:

Molecular weight of the compound = 74g/mol

Volume = 2500mL = 2.5L or 2.5dm³

Concentration = 0.025M

Unknown:

Mass of compound = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to find the number of moles from the given concentration and volume values.

Number of moles = concentration x volume

So;

Number of moles = 0.025 x 2.5 = 0.0625mol

Therefore, mass of compound;

Mass = number of moles x molar mass

Mass = 0.0625 x 74 = 4.6g
