How many grams of solute are needed to prepare 5.00 L of a o.250 M solution of #Ca(NO_3)_2#? Chemistry Solutions Solution Formation 1 Answer anor277 May 31, 2017 Over #400*g# of solute are present.......... Explanation: #"Concentration"="Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"# And thus.......... #"moles of solute"="concentration"xx"volume"# #=0.250*mol*cancel(L^-1)xx5.00*cancelL=2.50*mol# #"Mass of solute"="moles"xx"molar mass"# #=2.50*molxx164.09*g*mol^-1=??*g# Answer link Related questions How can temperature affect the formation of a solution?
