A 12.34 ml solution with an unknown salt concentration had a mass of 10.25g. when the water was evaporated from the solution 4.78 g of NaCl remained. Calculate the molarity of NaCl in the solution.

Hey there!

Mass of NaCl = 4.78 g

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Volume of solution = 12.34 mL

Number of moles:

n = mass of solute / molar mass

n = 4.78 / 58.44

n = 0.08179 moles of NaCl

Volume in liters:

12.34 mL / 1000 => 0.01234 L

Therefore:

Molarity = number of moles / Volume ( L )

Molarity = 0.08179 / 0.01234

Molarity = 6.62 M


Hope that thelps!

Answer : The molarity of NaCl in the solution is, 6.62 M

Solution : Given,

Mass of NaCl = 4.78 g

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mole

Volume of solution = 12.34 ml

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter volume of solution.

Formula used :


Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}* 1000}{\text{Molar mass of NaCl}* \text{volume of solution}}


Molarity=(4.78g* 1000)/(58.5g/mole* 12.34ml)=6.62mole/L=6.62M

Therefore, the molarity of NaCl in the solution is, 6.62 M
