Answer
The volume of the solution in liters can be calculated by rearranging the formula for concentration. Substituting Solute mass = 10g and Concentration = 50g/L into the formula gives:
, so the volume of the solution is 0.2 Litres.
Explanation
The question requires us to calculate the volume of a solution. It mentions that the concentration of the solution is 50 g/L and that we are using 10 grams of the solute. Concentration of a solution is defined as the amount of solute, present in a given amount (volume) of solvent. Hence, we can find volume (let's denote it by V) by using the formula:
. Rearranging for Volume gives
.It is wholly a Chemistry question touching on the section of molarity and concentration of solutions.
