Question

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 0.500 mole of kno3 dissolved in 0.500-liter of solution?

Answer 1

Answer : The molarity of solution is, 1.00 M

Explanation : Given,

Moles of $KNO_3$ = 0.500 mol

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles of }KNO_3}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{0.500mol}{0.500L}=1.00mole/L=1.00M$

Therefore, the molarity of solution is, 1.00 M
