Answer:
0.645 L
Explanation:
To find the volume, you need to (1) convert grams to moles (using the molar mass) and then (2) calculate the volume (using the molarity ratio). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given values.
(Step 1)
Molar Mass (KOH): 39.098 g/mol + 15.998 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol
Molar Mass (KOH): 56.104 g/mol
19.9 grams KOH 1 mole
-------------------------- x ----------------------- = 0.355 moles KOH
56.014 grams
(Step 2)
Molarity = moles / volume <----- Molarity ratio
0.550 M = 0.355 moles / volume <----- Insert values
(0.550 M) x volume = 0.355 moles <----- Multiply both sides by volume
volume = 0.645 L <----- Divide both sides by 0.550
Answer:
His results will be skewed because there was more water than stock solution. Which would cause the percentage solution to be less than 50% therefore the density would be less than the actual value.
Explanation:
The solution will have percentage less than that of 50%. Therefore the density would be less than the actual value.
Suppose there should be 50 mL of the solution, and he added 60 mL. So 10 mL of the solution is added more.
Suppose the mass of the solute is m.
Originally, the density is =
Now after adding extra 10 mL , the density becomes .
Therefore,
So the density decreases when we add more solution.
