Question

How many moles of copper(II)sulfate are in in 5.00 L of a 2.00 M solution?

Answer 1

There are 10 moles of copper(II)sulfate.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that molarity is a concentration measure that expresses the moles of solute per liter of solution: in this case, being 1.30 molar, there are 1.30 moles of solute in 1 liter of solution. We solve with the following simple rule of three:

1 L solution-----2 moles of copper(II)sulfate

5 L solution----x= (5 L solution x 2 moles of copper(II)sulfate)/1 L solution

x= 10 moles of copper(II)sulfate
