Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure what is being asked, not the units of "1.5." I don't know of potassium "ioxicide." Was "dioxide" intended?

I'll assume the question is "What is the concentration, in Molar, of 1.5g of potassium dioxide in 150cm^3 of water (150cm^3 is 150 ml).

The molar mass of K2O, potassium dioxide, is 94.2 g/mole. 1.5g is (1.5g/94.2 g/mole) or 0.0159 moles of K2O. The definition of Molar is moles/liter. So take the moles of K2O and divide by the liters, which is 0.150L in this case.

(0.0159 moles K2)/0.150 L = 0.106 M K2O
