160.0 mL of a 0.33 M solution contains how many grams of solute if the molar mass of the solute is 58.44 g/mol?
Enter your answer with the correct number of sig figs.

We are given the molarity and the volume of solution. The only issue is that the volume is given in mL instead of L. This issue can be fixed by using the following conversion factor:

Therefore, if we divide 50mL by 1000mL we will obtain a value of 0.05L.

Next, the equation has to be rearranged to solve for the moles of solute:

Moles of solute = Molarity

Liters of solution

Now, multiply 0.360 M by 0.05:

0.360 mol

0.05 L

=

0.018 mol

To obtain the mass of solute, we will need to the molar mass of NaCl, which is 58.44 g/mol:

Finally, multiply the number of moles by 58.44 g/mol

Boom, here it is:

there is none because earth is stationary and flat.
