Question

In the laboratory you dissolve 19.4 g of sodium chloride in a volumetric flask

and add water to a total volume of 375 mL.
What is the molarity of the solution? In M. What is the concentration of the sodium cation? In M. What is the concentration of the chloride anion? In M.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.885 M

Explanation: 19.4 grams of NaCl is (19.4g/58.55 g/mole) = 0.332 moles of NaCl. 375ml is 0.375 liters. Molar is moles per liter: (0.332 moles NaCl/0.375 liters) = 0.885 M
