Question

The molarity of a solution of 5.0 g of kcl in 100. ml of solution is ________.

Answer 1

Answer: The molarity of solution is 0.67 M

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

`\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}* 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}* \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}`

We are given:

Mass of solute (KCl) = 5.0 g

Molar mass of potassium chloride = 74.55 g/mol

Volume of solution = 100 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`\text{Molarity of solution}=(5g* 1000)/(74.55g/mol* 100mL)\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.67M`

Hence, the molarity of solution is 0.67 M

Answer 2

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
mass fo KCl in the solution is - 5.0 g
number of moles of KCl - 5.0 g/ 74.5 g/mol = 0.067 mol
number of moles of KCl in 100 mL - 0.067 mol
therefore number of KCl moles in 1 L - 0.067 / 100 mL x 1000 mL = 0.67 M
molarity of KCl is 0.67 M
