Answer:
Molarity = 0.24 mol/L
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Mass of NaNO3 = 25.4 g
Volume of solution = 1250 mL
Molarity = ?
Solution:
Molarity of solution is equal to the number of moles of solute divided by volume of solution in litter.
Formula:
Molarity = number of moles / volume in L
First of all we will convert the volume in litter.
1 L = 1000 mL
1250 / 1000 = 1.25 L
Now we calculate the moles of NaNO3 in present in 25.4 g.
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Molar mass of NaNO3 = (23 + 14+ 16×3) = 85 g/mol
Number of moles = 25.4 g / 85 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.299 mol
Now we will calculate the molarity of solution
Molarity = number of moles / volume in L
Molarity = 0.299 mol / 1.25 L
Molarity = 0.24 mol/L
