Question

The 225 g FeCl2 is about 1.8 moles.

What is the molar concentration of
the solution if the total volume is
450 mL?

Answer 1

`4 (mol)/(l)`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have been asked to find the molarity of FeCl2 having a volume of 450 mL,

We have been provided with 225 g which is proportional to 1.8 moles.

We know that molarity of any solution should be in mol/L.

1 mole contained in 1 L means it has a molarity of 1 mol/L

Let's convert 450 mL to Litres which is,

`(450)/(1000) litres`

= 0.450 L

Thus,

1 mole is contained in 1L

x moles are contained in 0.450 L

Hence,

x mole/molarity = {1 mole x 1 L}/{0.450 L}

= 4 mol/L

Therefore 4 mol/L is the molar concentration.
