Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want 4M, or 4 moles/liter. 4.6g of KCl is (4.0g KCl/74.55g/mole KCl) = 0.0617 moles of KCl.

Write the definition of Molar and set the volume to X ( X will tell us how many liters are needed to make a 4M solution from 0.0617 moles of KCl)

4.0M = (0.0617 moles KCl)/X

(4.0 moles/liter)*X = 0.0617 moles KCl

X = (0.0617 moles KCl)/(4.0 moles KCl)

X = 0.0154 liters, or 15.4 ml

===

[(0.0154 liters)*(4.0 moles/liter) = 0.0617 moles KCl]
