I’ve gotten the answer as x=.478 but when plugging back in, .46/.478 ≠ .22. Help please

15. 2.66 moles .

16. 2.09L.

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of the solvent. Mathematically, it is represented as:

Molarity = mole /Volume.

With the above formula, let us answer the questions given above

15. Data obtained from the question include the following:

Volume of solution = 1.4L

Molarity = 1.9M

Mole of solute =.?

Molarity = mole /Volume

1.9 = mole / 1.4

Cross multiply

Mole = 1.9 x 1.4

Mole = 2.66 moles

Therefore, the mole of the solute present in the solution is 2.66 moles.

16. Data obtained from the question include the following:

Mole of solute = 0.46 mole

Molarity = 0.22M

Volume of solvent (water) =.?

Molarity = mole /Volume

0.22 = 0.46/Volume

Cross multiply

0.22 x Volume = 0.46

Divide both side 0.22

Volume = 0.46/0.22

Volume = 2.09L

Therefore, 2.09L of water is required.
