mol of a solute is dissolved to make L of solution. What is the molarity (in mol/L)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 5/4

  1. Step 1: Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of solution: .
  2. Step 2: Substitute the quantity of solute and solution volume : .
  3. Step 3: Evaluating the fraction yields a concentration of .
Answer
5/4.
Why not the others: 9 adds moles and volume (); 4/5 inverts the molarity formula (); 20 multiplies moles by volume ().
