Question

A solution is made by dissolving 62.42 g of ammonium sulfate in enough

water to make 50.0 mL of solution. What is the molarity of this solution?

Answer 1

9.46 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity is a measure of the molar concentration of a solution. It can be calculated by the following formula

Molarity = number of moles/volume

Using moles = mass/molar mass

Molar Mass of Ammonium sulfate (NH₄)₂SO₄ =

{14 + 1(4)}2 + 32 + 16(4)

= {14 + 4}2 + 32 + 64

= 18(2) + 96

= 36 + 96

= 132g/mol

mole = mass/molar mass

mole = 62.42 ÷ 132

mole = 0.473mol

- Molarity = mole ÷ volume

Volume = 50.0 mL = 50/1000 = 0.05 L

Molarity = 0.473 ÷ 0.05

Molarity = 9.46 M
