Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the question of how to interpret and manipulate the concept of molarity in relation to volume, specifically regarding a 0.1 M solution of pyridine. Participants explore the relationship between concentration and volume, and how to determine the volume of pyridine needed for a specific molarity.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asserts that the original question is nonsensical as molarity and volume are different units.
  • Another participant suggests that the question may be about determining the volume of pyridine in a specific concentration solution.
  • A further reply seeks clarification on whether the goal is to calculate the volume of pyridine needed to achieve a 0.1M solution in a given solvent.
  • Another participant outlines a potential method for solving the problem, indicating a sequence from volume and concentration to moles and mass.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the original question's clarity, with some expressing confusion and others attempting to clarify the intent behind the question. Multiple interpretations of the question remain present.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved assumptions regarding the specific context of the question, such as the intended application of the molarity and the volume of solvent involved.

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.
