A student wants to prepare a 1.0-liter solution of a specific Molarity. The student determines that the mass of the solute needs to be 30. grams. What is the proper procedure to follow?

(1) Add 30. g of solute to 1.0 L of solvent.

(2) Add 30. g of solute to 970. mL of solvent to make 1.0 L of solution.

(3) Add 1000. g of solvent to 30. g of solute.

(4) Add enough solvent to 30. g of solute to make 1.0 L of solution.

The answer is (4) Add enough solvent to 30.0 g of solute to make 1.0 L solution. The molarity is calculated using volume of the solution. When solute dissolving, the total volume will change. So the final volume of solution need to be 1.0 L.
