Two solutions of a substance (non electrolyte) are mixed in the following manner. 480 ml of 1.5 M first solution +520 mL of 1.2 M second solution. What is the molarity of the final mixture?
- (A)1.20 M
- (B)1.50 M
- (C)1.344 M✓ Correct
- (D)2.70 M
Answer: (C)
Solution
Mixing two solutions of the same solute simply pools the moles into the combined volume. The first portion supplies mmol and the second supplies mmol, a total of mmol, spread over mL. Dividing gives a final molarity of M.
