One liter of 2.0 M KCl solution and two liters of 1.0 M KCl solution have the same A. Density B. Concentration C. Volume D. Moles of solute

OpenStudy (jfraser):

only one of those should make any sense if you think about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

density?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

moles are 2 and 1 volume is one 1l and 2 l concentration is 2m and 1m

OpenStudy (jfraser):

one solution is twice as concentrated as the other, can't be density

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm left with density

OpenStudy (jfraser):

the moles are not 2:1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.0M kcl 1.0M kcl.... I'm confused...i see two different amounts of moles

OpenStudy (jfraser):

2L of 1M solution has 2 moles of solute in it 1L of 2M solution also has 2 moles of solute in it

OpenStudy (jfraser):

you're looking at concentration, which is moles PER liter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so same moles??? the concept is a little hard for me to grasp

OpenStudy (jfraser):

it does have the same moles.

OpenStudy (jfraser):

instead of moles, what if it were some powdered drink mix? put 1 scoop of mix into 2 1-L containers, and put 2 scoops into a different 1-L container.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..it's still 2 scoops of drink mix at the end of it all ?

OpenStudy (jfraser):

essentially, yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ok...hhhmm...i need to think about it more but understand it a little better Thank you.

OpenStudy (jfraser):

concentration is a ratio of moles/volume, so the moles present in a certain volume will be\[moles = concentration * volume\] \[\frac{2mol}{L}*1L = \frac{1mol}{L}*2L\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..thank you very much
