Answer:
3.29 M
Explanation:
Molarity refers to the molar concentration of a solution and it can be calculated using the formula below:
Molarity (M) = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)
According to this question, the mass of HCl was given to be 60.4 grams and the volume of water as 505 mL.
Using mole = mass/molar mass to convert mass of HCl to moles
Molar mass of HCl = 1.0079 + 35.453 = 36.4609g/mol
mole = 60.4g ÷ 36.4609g/mol
mole = 1.66mol
Volume of water = 505mL = 505/1000 = 0.505L
Molarity, M = 1.66 ÷ 0.505
Molarity of HCl solution = 3.29 M
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Calculate the number of moles and the mass of the solute in each of the following solution: 100.0 mL of 3.8 × 10−5 M NaCN, the minimum lethal concentration of sodium cyanide in blood serum
Answer: The number of moles and the mass of the solute are
and
respectively
Explanation:
Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

where,
n = moles of solute
= volume of solution in ml


n = moles of
= 


Thus the number of moles and the mass of the solute are
and
respectively
