How many milliliters of a \(1.500 \mathrm{M}\) solution of \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) do you need to obtain \(100.0 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{NaCl} ?\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
To obtain \(100.0 ~\text{g}\) of NaCl from a \(1.500 ~\text{M}\) solution, you need \(1140 ~\text{mL}\) of the solution.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the moles of NaCl needed

First, we need to determine the number of moles of NaCl that correspond to 100.0 g. We can calculate this using the formula moles = mass / molar mass. The molar mass of NaCl is approximately \(58.44 ~\text{g/mol}\) (22.99 g/mol for Na and 35.45 g/mol for Cl). \(moles = \dfrac{mass}{molar~mass} = \dfrac{100.0~g}{58.44 ~\text{g/mol}}\)
02

Use the Molarity Formula

Now, we will use the molarity formula: moles = molarity × volume. We will rearrange the formula to find the volume. \(volume = \dfrac{moles}{molarity}\) We know the molarity of the solution is 1.500 M, and we calculated the moles in the previous step.
03

Calculate the volume of the solution

Substitute the values obtained from Step 1 and the given molarity into the volume equation: \(volume = \dfrac{\dfrac{100.0~g}{58.44~\text{ g/mol}}}{1.500 ~\text{M}}\) Calculate the volume: \(volume = \dfrac{100.0}{(58.44)(1.500)} = \dfrac{100.0}{87.66} = 1.140 ~\text{L}\) To convert liters to milliliters, multiply by 1000. \((1.140~\text{L})\times 1000 = 1140 ~\text{mL}\)
04

State the final answer

The volume required to obtain 100.0 g of NaCl from a 1.500 M solution is \(1140 ~\text{mL}\).
