Question

Part

a.1. the mass of kio3 used to prepare the solution was measured to be 0.585 g instead of the calculated 0.535 g.
a. will the molar concentration of the kio3 solution be greater or less than 0.01 m kio3? explain.

Answer 1

The molar concentration will be greater than 0.01 M
`KIO_(3)`.

Since more of the compound was measured out than what was calculated, you can think of the solution as being 'stronger' than what it was calculated to be. Since a 'stronger' concentration results in a number that is higher, the molarity of this solution is going to be greater than 0.01 M.
