A student wants to make a 0.250 M aqueous solution of silver nitrate, AgNO3, and has a bottle containing 15.89 g of silver nitrate. What should be the final volume of the solution? When you give your numerical answer, what is the correct significant figures and how do you know that is the correct amount?

0.374 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of silver nitrate (solute): 15.89 g

Molarity of the solution: 0.250 M

Step 2: Calculate the moles of silver nitrate

The molar mass of silver nitrate is 169.87 g/mol.

Step 3: Calculate the volume of the solution

The molarity is equal to the moles of solute divided by the liters of solution.

Due to the significant figures rules, we keep 3 significant figures.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
