Response:
given mass of oxalic acid, m= 0.900 g
molar mass of oxalic acid,H2C2O4= 90.04 g/mol
moles of oxalic acid,( solute) = mass/molar mass = 0.900/90.04 =9.9956*10-3 mol
molarityof a solution = moles of solute/volume of solution in liters
given, molarity = 0.300 M
∴volume of solution = (moles of solute)/molarity=9.9956*10-3 mol/0.300 =0.03332 liter
∴volume of solution in (ml) = 33.318 ml
