Question on: JAMB Chemistry - 2007
What weight of NaCl is needed to make 2.0 dm3 of a 1.5M solution?
[Na = 23, Cl = 35.5]
A
116 g
B
175 g
C
87 g
D
58 g
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
Molar mass of Nacl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol
Number of moles of Nacl = conc. in mol/dm3
x vol. in dm3
= 1.5 * 2.0 = 3.0 moles
1 mole of NaCl has a weight of 58.5 * 3
= 175.5g
