What volume of 0.151 M Li2S solution is required to completely react with 162 mL of 0.151 M Co(NO3)2?

Consider the reaction:

Li2S(aq) + Co(NO3)2(aq) ---> 2 LiNO3(aq) + CoS(s)

What volume of 0.151 M Li2S solution is required to completely react with 162 mL of 0.151 M Co(NO3)2?

    The solutions are the same concentration and the reagents react in a 1:1 ratio (from the equation) so you will need an equal volume, 162 ml of 0.151 M Li2S.

    But here are the calculations....

    moles Co(NO3)2 = molarity x litres

    = 0.151 M x 0.162 L

    = 0.024462 mol

    1 mole Li2S reacts completely with 1 mole Co(NO3)2

    So moles Li2S needed = moles Co(NO3)2

    = 0.024462 mol

    Molarity = moles / Litres

    therefore

    Litres Li2S = moles / molarity

    = 0.024462 mol / 0.151 M

    = 0.162 L

    = 162 ml
