Molarity And Total Solution Volume
A laboratory technician places 2 moles of substance X into an Erlenmeyer flask and adds exactly 1 liter of water to prepare a 2 M solution. Why is the resulting solution not exactly 2 M?
A
The technician did not add additional water to compensate for the 2 moles of substance X.
B
The technician failed to account for the volume of substance X, meaning the total volume of the solution is not exactly 1 liter.
C
The technician did not heat the mixture to increase the solubility of substance X.
D
The technician should have prepared the solution in a beaker.
