A chemist requires 6.00 liters of 0.320 M H2SO4 solution. How many grams of H2SO4 should the chemist dissolve in water?

121 grams
159 grams
176 grams
188 grams

Respuesta :

Answer:

188 grams

Explanation:

molarity = moles per litre

0.320 moles=1 litre

number of moles in 6 litres = (0.320×6)÷1

=1.92 moles

mass=moles ×relative molecular mass

1.92×(2+32+64)= 188

answers= 188 grams

Answer:

The correct answer is 188 grams

The chemist should dissolve 188 grams of H2SO4 in water.

Further Explanation

Molarity is the concentration of a solution in moles per liter. It is calculated by dividing the number of moles of a solution, n by its volume in liters, V. That is; Molarity = n/V

When given the molarity of a solution and the volume of the solution then we can get the number of moles, by multiplying the molarity by volume; n = MV.

The number of moles of a compound or an element can also be calculated by dividing the mass of the compound by its relative molecular mass.

In this case, we are given; volume = 6.00 L and Molarity = 0.320 M

Therefore, we can calculate the number of moles by multiplying volume and molarity.

Number of moles = 6.0 L × 0.320 M

                             = 1.92 moles

Relative molecular mass of H2SO4 is 98.079 g/mol

Mass of the solution = moles × relative molecular mass

                                  = 1.92 moles × 98.079 g/mol

                                  = 188.312 g

                                   ≈ 188 g
