Question

In the laboratory you dissolve 15.9 g of barium chloride in a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 375 ml. what is the molarity of the solution

Answer 1

There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molarity. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. So, we calculate as follows:

Molarity = 15.9 g BaCl2 ( 1 mol / 208.23 g ) / .375 L = 0.204 mol / L
