Ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) is mixed with water to make auto engine coolants. How many grams of C2H6O2 are in 5.00 L of a 6.00 M aqueous solution

1860g.

Explanation:

It is known that the molar mass of C2H6O2 is 62.08 g/mol.,

Now to  solve for the number of moles of solute, one must multiply both

sides by the volume:

moles of solute = (6.00 M)(5.00 L) = 30.0 mol

Notice since the definition of molarity is mol/L, the

product M × L gives mol, a unit of amount.

Use the molar  mass of C3H8O3, one can convert mol to g:

Mass m =30 mol × 62.08 g/mol

m = 1860g.

Hence, there are 1,860 g of C2H6O2 in the specified amount of

engine coolant.

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error
