Question

What quantity in moles of CH₂OH are there in 150.0 mL of 0.210 M
CH₂OH?

Answer 1

0.0315 moles CH₂OH

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the amount of moles using the molarity equation. This equation looks like this:

Molarity (M) = moles / volume (L)

Once you convert mL to L (by dividing by 1,000), you can plug the molarity and volume into the equation and isolate to find moles. The final answer should have 3 sig figs because the given value with the lowest amount of sig figs (0.210 M) has this amount.

150.0 mL / 1,000 = 0.1500 L

Molarity = moles / volume

0.210 M = moles / 0.1500 L

(0.210 M x 0.1500 L) = moles

0.0315 = moles
