Q: A student prepares a solution by dissolving 25.5 g of KBr in enough water to make 1.75 L of solution. What is the molarity of the solution? (Molar mass of KBr = 119.00 g/mol)

$M = \frac{25.5}{119.00 \times 1.75} = 0.122\ \mathrm{M}$

Q: What is the correct formula for calculating molarity?

$M = \frac{\text{amount of solute (in mol)}}{\text{volume of solution (in L)}}$

Q: A chemist wants to prepare 3.00 L of 0.500 M CaCl$_2$ solution from a 10.0 M stock solution. What volume of the stock solution should be used?

$V_1 = \frac{M_2 V_2}{M_1} = \frac{0.500 \times 3.00}{10.0} = 0.150\ \mathrm{L}$

Q: A student mixes 20.0 mL of 0.50 M NaCl solution. How many moles of NaCl are present?

$0.0200\ \mathrm{L} \times 0.50\ \mathrm{mol/L} = 0.010\ \mathrm{mol}$
