To increase the concentration of a solution, we must increase the amount of solute even as the volume of the solution remains constant.

Moles in 100ml of 0.1 Molar Potassium Chloride is :

(100/1000) × 0.1 = 0.01 Moles.

Moles in 100ml of 0.2 Molar Potassium Chloride is

(1000/1000) × 0.2 = 0.02 moles

The difference in moles is :

0.02 - 0.01 = 0.01 moles

This is the amount of solute that should be added to raise the concentration to 0.2 M

Getting it in mass :

Molar mass of Potassium Chloride is :

74.55g /mol

Mass of solute is thus :

74.55 × 0.01 = 0.7455 g

We should therefore add 0.7455 g of potassium Chloride to raise the concentration to 0.2Molar
