Question

If 42.389 g of Fe3Br2 is dissolved in enough water to give a total volume of 750 mL, what is the molarity of the solution

Answer 1

`M=0.173M`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of a solution is defined in terms of the moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution in liters and has units of mol/L or M:

`M=(n)/(V)`

For the solute, Fe3Br2, which has a molar mass of 327.3430 g/mol, the moles in 42.389 g are:

`n=42.389g*(1mol)/(327.3430g) =0.12949mol`

Thus, since the volume in liters is 0.750 L from those given 750 mL, the molarity turns out:

`M=(0.12949mol)/(0.750L)\\\\M=0.173M`

Best regards!
