Question

What is the molarity of a 5.00 x 10^2mL solution containing 21.1g of potassium bromide? The molar mass of KBr is 119.0 g/mol

Answer 1

Volume of solution in liters:

5.00 x 10² mL / 1000 => 0.5 L

number of moles:

mass of solute / molar mass

21.1 / 119.0 => 0.1773 moles

Molarity = number of moles / volume

M = 0.1773 / 0.5

M = 0.355 mol/L

hope this helps!
