Question

You dissolve 14 g of Mg(NO3)2 in water and dilute to

750 mL. What is the molarity of this solution?

Answer 1

0.127M

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity of a solution = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)

Molar mass of Mg(NO3)2 = 24 + (14 + 16(3)}2

= 24 + {14 + 48}2

= 24 + 124

= 148g/mol

Using the formula, mole = mass/molar mass, to convert mass of Mg(NO3)2 to mole

mole = 14g ÷ 148g/mol

mole = 0.095mol

Volume = 750mL = 750/1000 = 0.75L

Molarity = 0.095mol ÷ 0.75L

Molarity = 0.127M
