Calculate the amount of benzoicacid (C6H5COOH) required for preparing 250 mL of 0.15 Msolution in methanol.



Answer -

0.15 M solution of benzoic acidin methanol means,

1000 mL of solution contains 0.15mol of benzoic acid

Therefore,250 mL of solution contains =  mol of benzoic acid

= 0.0375 mol of benzoic acid

Molar mass of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH)= 7 × 12 + 6 × 1 + 2 × 16

= 122 g mol−1

Hence, required benzoic acid =0.0375 mol × 122 g mol−1

=4.575 g
