A mole of ethyl alcohol weighs 46 g. How many grams of ethyl alcohol are needed to produce 1 L of a 2-millimolar (2 mM) solution?
A
92 g
B
9.2 g
C
0.92 g
D
0.092 g
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that a 2-millimolar (2 mM) solution means there are 2 millimoles of solute per liter of solution.
Convert millimoles to moles: 2 millimoles is equal to 0.002 moles (since 1 millimole = 0.001 moles).
Use the molar mass of ethyl alcohol to find the mass in grams. The molar mass of ethyl alcohol is 46 g/mol.
Calculate the mass of ethyl alcohol needed by multiplying the number of moles by the molar mass: 0.002 moles * 46 g/mol.
The result of this calculation will give you the mass of ethyl alcohol needed in grams to make 1 L of a 2 mM solution.
