AI Thread Summary
Molarity is a concentration unit, while mL measures volume, making direct conversion impossible. The discussion clarifies that the question likely pertains to determining the volume of pyridine needed to achieve a specific molarity. To calculate this, one must consider the desired volume and concentration, leading to the number of moles and subsequently the mass of pyridine required. The steps involve calculating the volume and concentration, then determining the moles and mass of pyridine, and finally finding the volume of the substance. Understanding these relationships is essential for accurate solution preparation.

Homework Statement
I need to convert 0.1 M of pyridine to mL.
Molecular mass of pyridine is 79.1 g/mol. Density is 0.978 g/mL
Relevant Equations
C=n/v

The question makes no sense. Molarity is a unit of concentration and mL is a unit of volume. You can’t convert one into the other.
 
Perhaps you mean a certain volume of 0.1M pyridine contains how many mL of pyridine?

yes. How do i do that? thanks
 
Try again. What question, exactly are you hoping to answer?

0.1M Pyridine

0.1 (moles/liter) pyridine

0.1 (moles/(1000*mL)) pyridine
 
Are you trying to calculate how many ml of pyridine you need to disolve in a given volume of a solvent to get 0.1M solution?
 
Assuming I guess correctly what you are trying to do path to follow is: volume & concentration of the solution → number of moles of the substance → mass of the substance → volume of the substance itself.
