The molar mass of monopotassium phosphate is 136.09 g/mol. How many moles of monopotassium phosphate are needed to make 250.0 ml of 0.15 M monopotassium phosphate?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.0375 moles

Explanation:

Given that:

Molar mass of monopotassium phosphate = 136.09 g/mol

Given that volume = 250.0 mL

Also,

[tex]1\ mL=10^{-3}\ L[/tex]

So, Volume = 250 / 1000 L = 0.25 L

Molarity = 0.15 M

Considering:

[tex]Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}[/tex]

[tex]0.15=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{0.25}[/tex]

Thus, moles of monopotassium phosphate needed = 0.0375 moles
