    The amount of oxalic acid, required to prepare \[300\,\,mL\,\,2.5\,\,M\] solution, is:

    A) \[67.5\,\,g\]                      

    B) \[9.45\,\,g\]

    C) \[6.75\,\,g\]                      

    D)  \[94.5\,\,g\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Molarity                 \[=\frac{mole\,\,of\,\,solute}{volume\,\,of\,\,solution\,\,in\,\,L}\]                 \[=\frac{mass/molecular\,\,mass}{V\,\,in\,\,L}\] Given    molarity\[=2.5\,\,M\] Volume                \[=300\,\,mL=\frac{300}{1000}L\] Molecular mass of oxalic acid\[{{(COOH)}_{2}}\]                 \[={{(12+16\times 2+1)}_{2}}=90\] \[\therefore \]  \[2.5=\frac{mass/90}{300/1000}\] or            \[2.5=\frac{mass}{90}\times \frac{1000}{300}\] \[\therefore \]  \[mass=\frac{90\times 300\times 2.5}{1000}\]                         \[=67.5\,\,g\]
