$$0.550 \times 0.300 \times 163.94 = 27.1\ \text{g}$$

Q: What is the final volume (in mL) when 100 mL of 5.0 M KCl is diluted to make a 0.54 M KCl solution?

$$V_2$$ = \frac{M_1V_1}{$$M_2$$} = \frac{5.0 \times 100}{0.54} = 926\ \text{mL}$$

Q: A solution is prepared by dissolving 2.64 g of an unknown compound in water to yield 150 mL of solution. The concentration is 0.075 M. What is the molecular weight of the substance?

$$\text{MW} = \frac{2.64}{0.075 \times 0.150} = 234.7\ \text{g/mol}$$
