Moles of solute for both a and b are the same = 1 mol
Further explanation
Given
a 500 cm³ of solution, of concentration 2 mol/dm³
b 2 litres of solution, of concentration 0.5 mol/dm³
Required
moles of solute
Solution
Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solution or mmol in each ml of solution
Can be formulated :
[tex]\large \boxed {\bold {M ~ = ~ \dfrac {n} {V}}}[/tex]
a.
V = 500 cm³ = 0.5 L
M = 2 mol/L
n=moles = M x V
n = 2 mol/L x 0.5 L
n = 1 mol
b.
V = 2 L
M = 0.5 mol/L
n=moles = M x V
n = 0.5 mol/L x 2 L
n = 1 mol
