The size of volumetric flask is 0.5L = 500mL
Explanation:
In order to estimate the concentration of a solution in molarity, then the total number of moles of the solute is divided by the total volume of the solution.
Molarity of a solution is given by;
[tex]M= \frac{n}{V}[/tex]
Where;
n= number of moles of solute
V= volume of solution = size of volumetric flask
[tex]n=\frac{m }{ m.m}[/tex]
Where;
m= mass of solute=43.85g
m.m= molar mass of solute=58.5g
Note that solute is NaCl(s)
[tex]n=\frac{43.85}{58.5}=0.75mol[/tex]
We know that the molarity is 1.50M
To find the size of the volumetric flask, we make V in M=n/V subject of formula
[tex]V=\frac{n}{M}[/tex]
[tex]V=\frac{0.75}{1.50}[/tex]
[tex]V=0.5[/tex]
Therefore, the size of volumetric flask is 0.5L = 500mL.
