Answer:
45 g of the solid Tris will be dissolved in 2.5 liters of water.
Explanation:
Recall that:
Number of moles = molarity x volume
Hence, number of moles of Tris present in 2.5 liters, 150 mM solution:
= 150/1000 x 2.5 = 0.375 moles
Also, recall that:
No of moles of substance = mass/molar mass.
Hence, mass of 0.375 moles substance:
= no of moles of the substance x molar mass of the substance.
= 0.375 x 120 = 45 g.
Therefore, in order to prepare 2.5 liters, 150 mM of an aqueous solution of Tris, 45 g of the solid Tris will be dissolved in 2.5 liters of water.
