Answer:

0.29mol/L or 0.29moldm⁻³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of MgSO₄ = 122g

Volume of solution = 3.5L

Molarity is simply the concentration of substances in a solution.

Molarity = number of moles/ Volume

>>>>To calculate the Molarity of MgSO₄ we find the number of moles using the mass of MgSO₄ given.

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of MgSO₄:

Atomic masses: Mg = 24g

S = 32g

O = 16g

Molar mass of MgSO₄ = [24 + 32 + (16x4)]g/mol

= (24 + 32 + 64)g/mol

= 120g/mol

Number of moles = 122/120 = 1.02mol

>>>> From the given number of moles we can evaluate the Molarity using this equation:

Molarity = number of moles/ Volume

Molarity of MgSO₄ = 1.02mol/3.5L

= 0.29mol/L

IL = 1dm³

The Molarity of MgSO₄ = 0.29moldm⁻³
