  • Calculating Solution Preparation: Mass of KCl for a 1.20 M Solution
    To calculate the mass of KCl needed to make a 2.00 L 1.20 M solution, we can use the formula:

    ```

    M = m / MW * V

    ```

    Where:

    - M is the molarity of the solution (1.20 M)

    - m is the mass of KCl we want to find (in grams)

    - MW is the molecular weight of KCl (74.55 g/mol)

    - V is the volume of the solution (2.00 L)

    Rearranging the formula to solve for m, we get:

    ```

    m = M * MW * V

    ```

    Substituting the values, we get:

    ```

    m = 1.20 M * 74.55 g/mol * 2.00 L = 179.04 g

    ```

    Therefore, we need to add 179.04 grams of KCl to 2.00 liters of water to make a 1.20 M solution.
