Answer:

10L

Explanations:

The formula for calculating the molarity of a solution is expressed as:


molarity=(moles)/(volume)

Given the following parameters

• Moles of salt = 5 moles

,

• Molarity of solution = 0.5M

Substitute the given parameters into the formula


\begin{gathered} volume=(moles)/(molarity) \\ volume=(5moles)/(0.5M) \\ volume=10L \end{gathered}

Hence the required volume of the solution is 10L
