Answer :
Answer:
We need 0.375 mol of CH3OH to prepare the solution
Explanation:
For the problem they give us the following data:
Solution concentration 0,75 M
Mass of Solvent is 0,5Kg
knowing that the density of water is 1g / mL, we find the volume of water:
[tex]d = \frac{g}{mL} \\\\ V= \frac{g}{d} = \frac{500g}{1 \frac{g}{mL} } = 500mL = 0,5 L[/tex]
Now, find moles of [tex]CH_{3} OH[/tex] are needed using the molarity equation:
[tex]M = \frac{ moles }{ V (L)} \\\\\\molesCH_{3}OH = M . V(L) = 0,75 M . 0,5 L\\\\molesCH_{3}OH = 0,375 mol[/tex]
therefore the solution is prepared using 0.5 L of H2O and 0.375 moles of CH3OH, resulting in a concentration of 0,75M
