How many grams of solute are needed to make 37.5 mL of 0.750 M KI solution? Round to three significant digits.

Respuesta :

4.648 gm of solute is needed to make 37.5 mL of 0.750 M KI solution.

Solution:  

We will start with the Molarity  

[tex]\text { Molarity }=\text { Mole of solute } \div \text { liter of solution }[/tex]

Also we know 1000 ml = 1 L

Therefore 37.5 ml by 1000ml we obtained 0.0375L  

Equation for solving mole of solute

[tex]\text { Mole of solute }=\text { Molarity } \times \text { Liters of solution }[/tex]

Now, multiply 0.750M by 0.0375

Substitute the known values in the above equation we get

[tex]0.750 \times 0.0375=0.0281[/tex]

Also we know that Molar mass of KI is 166 g/mol

So divide the molar mass value to get the no of grams.

[tex]0.028 \times 166=4.648[/tex]

So 4.648 gm of Solute is required for make 37.5 mL of 0.750 M KI solution.
