Question

Calculate the concentration 3.8g of copper sulfate, CuSO4 dissolved in 250cm4 of water

Answer 1

Molarity = 0.08 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of copper sulfate = 3.8 g

Volume of water = 250 cm³ (250/1000 = 0.25 L)

Concentration of solution = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of copper sulfate:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3.8 g/ 159.6 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.02 mol

Concentration:

Molarity = Number of moles / volume in L

By putting values,

Molarity = 0.02 mol / 0.25 L

Molarity = 0.08 mol/L

Molarity = 0.08 M
