How many moles of solute are in a 1.25 mol/L solution containing 5.00 liters of solution?

A) 4.00 moles
B) 5.00 moles
C) 6.25 moles
D) 7.50 moles

Answer :

Final answer:

The number of moles of solute cannot be determined without knowing the volume of the solution.

Explanation:

The number of moles of solute in a 1.25 mol/L solution containing 5.00 moles of solute can be calculated using the equation:

Moles of solute = concentration of solution x volume of solution

For this question, the concentration of the solution is 1.25 mol/L, and the volume of the solution is not given. Without a volume, it is not possible to determine the number of moles of solute. Therefore, the answer cannot be determined.
