What is the molarity of a solution that contains 0.505 mol KCl (molar mass = 74.55 g/mol) in 7.98 L of solution?

Respuesta :

Answer:c

=

0.0253 M

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of a solution's concentration in terms of how many moles of solute it contains per liter of solution.

So, in essence, if you have the number of moles of solute, like you do here, and the total volume of the solution expressed in liters, you can find how many moles of solute you get per liter, i.e. the molarity of the solution.

Keeping in mind the fact that the moles of solute are distributed evenly in any given volume of the solution, you can say that because  

7.98 L

of solution contain  

0.202

moles of solute, which in your case is potassium chloride,  

KCl

,  

1 L

of this solution will contain

1

L

0.202 moles KCl

7.98

L

=

0.0253 moles KCl

So, if your solution contains  

0.0253

moles of potassium chloride per liter, it follows that its molarity is equal to

c

=

0.0253 M

Here  

M

is equivalent to  

mol/L

, or molar.

The molarity of the solution that contains 0.505 mol KCl in 7.98 L of the solution is 0.0632 moles/L.

What is called the Molarity of a solution?

Molarity is a measure of a solution concentration in terms of how many moles of solute it contains per liter of solution.

Molarity = Moles of solute / Liters of solution

Its unit is mole/L

Calculating the molarity of the given solution:

Given that a solution contains 0.505 mol KCl in 7.98 L of solution

Moles of solute (KCl) = 0.505 mol

Liters of solution = 7.98 L

Then, the molarity will be

M = [tex]\frac{0.505}{7.98}[/tex]

   = 0.0632 moles/L

Therefore, the molarity of the given solution is 0.0632 moles/L.
