SUMMARY

To prepare a 0.5M solution of FeCl3•6H2O, accurately weigh the required amount of the crystals and dissolve them in a suitable volume of solvent, typically distilled water. The molarity (M) indicates the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. For a 0.5M solution, you need to calculate the mass of FeCl3•6H2O based on its molar mass and the desired final volume.

PREREQUISITES

Understanding of molarity and solution preparation
Knowledge of molar mass calculations
Familiarity with weighing techniques for laboratory use
Basic skills in dissolving solids in liquids

Sorry if this is a dumb or noob question, but I have some FeCl₃•6H₂O crystals, and I want a 0.5M solution. How do I do it?

Short answer: weight and dissolve.

Longer answer: do you know what 0.5M means?
