If 4.90 g of CuNO3 is dissolved in water to make a 0.850 M solution, what is the volume of the solution?
Given masss of CuNO3 is , m = 4.90 g
Molarity of CuNO3 , M = 0.850 M
Molar mass of CuNO3 = At.mass of Cu + At.mass of N + (3xAt.mass of O)
= 63.5 +14+(3x16)
= 125.5 g/mol
Number of moles , n = mass/molar mass
= 4.90 g / 125.5 (g/mol)
= 0.039 mol
We know that Molarity , M = number of moles / volume in L
0.850 = 0.039 mol / Volume in L
So Volume in L = 0.039 / 0.0850
= 0.459 L
= 0.459 x 1000 mL Since 1L = 1000 mL
= 459 mL
Therefore the volume of the solution is 459 mL
