Briefly and concisely explain how you would prepare 250. mL of a 0.100 M copper (II) sulfate solution if you have at your disposal solid copper (II) sulfate, a balance scale, distilled water, a beaker, a volumetric pipet and pump, and a 500. mL volumetric flask. Be sure to provide the exact amount of solid required and discuss the specific steps you would perform in the lab in preparing your solution

Briefly and concisely explain how you would prepare 250. mL of a 0.100 M copper (II) sulfate solution if you have at your disposal solid copper (II) sulfate, a balance scale, distilled water, a beaker, a volumetric pipet and pump, and a 500. mL volumetric flask. Be sure to provide the exact amount of solid required and discuss the specific steps you would perform in the lab in preparing your solution.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Making a solution of exact molarity needs precision and accuracy in weighing and addition of reagents. We need to make sure that use of clean apparatus is involved during the experiment.

To make a molar solution we use the following formula: 

                     molarity= number of moles of solute volume of solvent in litre
