Answer: The correct option is enough solvent to make 1.00 L of solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution consists of solute and solvent. A solute is defined as the component present in a smaller proportion while the solvent is defined as the component that is present in a larger proportion.

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:


Molarity=(Moles)/(Volume) .......(1)

We are given:

Molarity of solution = 0.500 M

Moles of solute = 0.500 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:


0.500mol/L=\frac{0.500mol}{\text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=(0.500mol)/(0.500mol/L)=1.00L

Hence, the correct option is enough solvent to make 1.00 L of solution
