What mass of K2CrO4 is required to prepare 250cm3 of 0.020 mol dm3 solution?
[K2CrO4 = 194.2g mol-1]

A.

0.97g

B.

9.70g

C.

19.42g

D.

97.10g

Correct answer is A

1 mole m-3 K2CrO4 contains 194.2g mol-1 in 1000cm3
1 mole m-3 K2CrO4 contains 92.2g mol-1 in 500cm3
1 mole m-3 K2CrO4 contains 48.55g mol-1 in 250cm3
If n molm-3 K2CrO4 contain 48.55
0.02 molm-3 will contain (0.02/1) * (48.55/1) = 0.97g
