Question

A 3.25 L solution is prepared by dissolving 285 g of BaBr2 in water. Determine the molarity.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.295 mol/L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 3.25 L

Mass of BaBr₂ = 285 g

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Number of moles of solute:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of BaBr₂ = 297.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 285 g/ 297.1 g/mol

Number of moles= 0.959 mol

Molarity:

M = 0.959 mol / 3.25 L

M = 0.295 mol/L
