Amines
A solution is prepared by dissolving 4.65 g of CH3NH2 (molar mass = 31 g mol-1) in water and making the volume 250 mL. The molarity of the solution is:
Select the correct option:
Solution
0.60 mol L-1
First calculate moles of methylamine: n = mass/molar mass = 4.65/31 = 0.15 mol. The final volume is 250 mL = 0.250 L. Molarity is M = n/V = 0.15/0.250 = 0.60 mol L-1. The arithmetic is straightforward, but the key check is unit conversion from mL to L before division; without this conversion the concentration would be incorrect.
