Two solutions of a substance (non electrolyte) are mixed in the following manner

Two solutions of a substance (non electrolyte) are mixed in the following manner:

480 ml of 1.5 M first solution + 520 mL of 1.2 M second solution

What is the molarity of the final mixture?

  1. 2.70 M
  2. 1.50 M
  3. 1.344 M
  4. 1.20 M

Answer

Total millimoles of solute = 480 × 1.5 + 520 × 1.2

= 720 + 624 = 1344

Total volume = 480 + 520 = 1000

Molarity of the final mixture = 1344/1000

= 1.344 M

The correct option is C.
