How many mL of a 0.130 M aqueous solution of chromium(II) nitrate, Cr(NO3)2, must be taken to obtain 5.08 grams of the salt

222.3 ml of a 0.130 M aqueous solution of chromium (II) nitrate must be taken to obtain 5.08 grams of the salt.

Explanation:

Being:

the molar mass of chromium (II) nitrate, Cr(NO₃)₂ is:

Cr(NO₃)₂ = 52 g/mole + 2* (14 g/mole + 3* 16 g/mole)= 176 g/mole

So: if 176 grams are present in 1 mole of the compound, 5.08 grams in how many moles of the compound will be present?

amount of moles=0.0289 moles

Molarity (M) is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume. It is then calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution:

Molarity is expressed in

So in this case:

Replacing:

Solving:

volume=0.2223 liters

Being 1 L= 1,000 mL:

volume=0.222 liters= 222.3 mL

222.3 ml of a 0.130 M aqueous solution of chromium (II) nitrate must be taken to obtain 5.08 grams of the salt.
