Calculate the amount of benzoic acid `(C_(6)H_(5)COOH)` required for preparing `250mL` of `0.15 M` solution in methanol.

Explanation

To calculate the amount of benzoic acid (C₆H₅COOH) required for preparing 250 mL of a 0.15 M solution in methanol, follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the formula for molarity
Molarity (M) is defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the volume of solution in liters. The formula is given by:
\[ M = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution in liters}} \]
