Answer:

0.404M

Step-by-step explanation:

...To make exactly 100.0mL of solution...

Molar concentration is defined as the amount of moles of a solute (In this case, nitrate ion, NO₃⁻) in 1 L of solution.

To solve this question we need to convert the mass of Fe(NO₃)₃ to moles. As 1 mole of Fe(NO₃)₃ contains 3 moles of nitrate ion we can find moles of nitrate ion in 100.0mL of solution, and we can solve the amount of moles per liter:

Moles Fe(NO₃)₃ -Molar mass: 241.86g/mol-:

3.26g * (1mol / 241.86g) =

0.01348 moles Fe(NO₃)₃ * (3 moles of NO₃⁻ / 1mole Fe(NO₃)₃) =

0.0404 moles of NO₃⁻

In 100mL = 0.1L, the molar concentration is:

0.0404 moles of NO₃⁻ / 0.100L =

0.404M
