Answer

Molarity =
1.4mol/L

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity provides the number of moles of solute per liter of solution (moles/Liter). It is a means by which concentration of solution is measured.

Answer:

1.42 M

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case have a dilution problem, therefore we need to use the dilution equation:


C_1*V_1=C_2*V_2

What values we have?


C_1=3.82M


V_1=526mL(0.516L)


C_2=?


V_2=?

Now, we can calculate
V_2 if we add the volumes, so:


0.516~L+~0.875~L=1.391~L

So,
V_2=1.391~L

We can plug the values in the equation:


3.82~M*0.516~L=C_2*1.391~L


C_2=(3.82~M*0.516~L)/(1.391~L)


C_2=1.42~M

I hope it helps!
