To answer these questions we use the formula

\n

$\\dfrac{\\text{number of moles of substance}}{\\text{volume of liquid (in litres)}} = \\text{concentration (in mol/L)}$.

\n

a) 

\n

$\\var{a}$ mole(s) of a substance are dissolved in $\\var{b}$ litre(s) of a liquid to make a solution. What is the concentration of the solution in M (mol/L)?

\n

Solution:

\n

Putting our numbers into the formula, we find that the concentration is

\n

$\\begin{align}\\dfrac{\\var{a}}{\\var{b}} & = \\var{a / b} M \\\\ & = \\var{precround((a / b), 2)} M \\text{ to 2 d.p.} \\end{align}$

\n

b)

\n

$\\var{0.25 * c}$ mole(s) of a substance are dissolved in $\\var{250 * d}$ml of a liquid to make a solution. What is the concentration of the solution in M (mol/L)?

\n

Solution:

\n

The formula uses the volume of liquid in litres so we first have to convert $\\var{250 * d}$ml to a volume in litres. There are $1000$ml in 1L so $\\var{250 * d}$ml is equal to 

\n

$\\dfrac{\\var{250 * d}}{1000} = \\var{250 * d / 1000}L$.

\n

Putting our numbers into the formula, we find that the concentration is

\n

\n

$\\begin{align}\\dfrac{\\var{0.25 * c}}{\\var{250 * d / 1000}} & = \\var{(0.25 * c) / (250 * d / 1000)} M \\\\ & = \\var{precround(((0.25 * c) / (250 * d / 1000)), 2)} M \\text{ to 2 d.p.} \\end{align}$
