Question

Calculate the molarity of 13.1 g of NaCl in 727 mL of solution

Answer 1

The molarity of the solution is 0,31 M

Step-by-step explanation:

We calculate the weight of 1 mol of NaCl from the atomic weights of each element of the periodic table. Then, we calculate the molarity, which is a concentration measure that indicates the moles of solute (in this case NaCl) in 1000ml of solution (1 liter)

Weight 1 mol NaCl= Weight Na + Weight Cl= 23 g + 35, 5 g= 58, 5 g

58, 5 g-----1 mol NaCl

13,1 g ---------x= (13,1 g x 1 mol NaCl)/58, 5 g= 0, 224 mol NaCl

727 ml solution------ 0, 224 mol NaCl

1000ml solution------x= (1000ml solutionx0, 224 mol NaCl)/727 ml solution

x=0,308 mol NaCl---> The solution is 0,31 molar (0,31 M)
