Answer:

M = 0.125 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Molarity = ?

Volume of solution = 2 L

Mass of K₂SO₄ = 43.55 g

Solution;

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Number of moles of solute:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 43.55 g / 174.26 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.25 mol

Molarity:

M = 0.25 mol / 2 L

M = 0.125 M
