Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the number of moles in 5 liters of a 2 M NaCl solution?
Correct Answer: 10 moles
  • Step 1: Understand what Molarity (M) means. Molarity is the number of moles of solute (like NaCl) per liter of solution.
  • Step 2: Identify the given values. We have a 2 M NaCl solution and a volume of 5 liters.
  • Step 3: Use the formula to find the number of moles. The formula is: Moles = Molarity x Volume.
  • Step 4: Plug in the values into the formula. Moles = 2 moles/L x 5 L.
  • Step 5: Calculate the result. 2 moles/L multiplied by 5 L equals 10 moles.
