Answer:
0.00331M
Step-by-step explanation:
Molarity of a solution can be calculated as follows:
Molarity = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)
In the information provided in this question, the volume = 502mL = 502/1000 = 0.502L, mass of caffeine = 0.322g
Molar mass of caffeine (C8H10N4O2), where C = 12, H = 1, N = 14, O = 16 is as follows:
Molar mass = 12(8) + 1(10) + 14(4) + 16(2)
= 96 + 10 + 56 + 32
= 194g/mol
Using, moles = mass/molar mass
moles = 0.322/194
moles = 1.66 × 10-³ moles
mole = 0.00166mol
Molarity = number of moles ÷ volume
Molarity = 0.00166mol ÷ 0.502L
Molarity = 0.00331M.
