How many millimoles of solute are in 392 mL of a 67.8 mM solution?

 Pay attention to significant figures.



To find the number of millimoles of solute in 392 mL of a 67.8 mM solution, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{{Millimoles of solute}} = \text{{Molarity (mM)}} \times \text{{Volume (mL)}}
\]

Substituting the given values:

\[
\text{{Millimoles of solute}} = 67.8 \text{{ mM}} \times 392 \text{{ mL}}
\]

Calculating this:

\[
\text{{Millimoles of solute}} = 26,577.6 \text{{ millimoles}}
\]

Considering significant figures:
- The volume (392 mL) has 3 significant figures.
- The molarity (67.8 mM) has 3 significant figures.

Therefore, the result should also be expressed with 3 significant figures:

\[
\text{{Millimoles of solute}} = 26,600 \text{{ millimoles}} \quad \text{(rounded to 3 significant figures)}
\]

So, there are **26,600 millimoles** of solute in the solution.
