Hello everyone!
I am new to chemistry and am working on a question that I got stuck on. If anyone could help me to continue my work, it would be greatly appreciated.
The chemist used a solution of lead nitrate, Pb(NO3)2, with a concentration of 0.025 mol l-1. If they were preparing one litre of this solution, what mass of lead nitrate should they weigh out?
For the initial calculations, I used the relative atomic mass (RAM) for each element and got the result for : RMM Pb(NO3)2 = 331
The relative molecular mass of lead nitrate is 331.
The mass of one molecule of lead nitrate is 331 g.
The molar mass of lead nitrate is 331 g mol-1.
I was supposed to use this equation (as that is the only one we were shown, but I am not sure how:
Mass of a substance = (number of moles of substance) x (molar mass of substance)
The concentration mol l-1 is throwing me off too, as surely the mass needs to be in grams in the end.
Can anyone advise me on this matter?
Thank you in advance
