Molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution in liters.
The solute here is NaCl, of which we have 46.5 g. To calculate the molarity of an NaCl solution, we need to know the number of moles of NaCl. To convert from grams to moles, we divide the mass by the molar mass of NaCl. The molar mass of NaCl is the sum of the atomic masses of Na and Cl: 23 amu + 35 amu = 58 amu. For our purposes, we can regard amu as equivalent to grams/mole.
(46.5 g)/(58 g/mol) = 0.8017 moles NaCl.
Now that we know both the number of moles of our NaCl solute and the volume of the solution, we can calculate the molarity:
(0.8017 moles NaCl)/(2.2 L) = 0.364 M.
Answer:
C₅H₁₀O₅
Explanation:
1. Calculate the mass of each element in 2.78 mg of X.
(a) Mass of C

(b) Mass of H

(c) Mass of O
Mass of O = 3.5 - 1.400 - 0.2349 = 1.87 g
2. Calculate the moles of each element

3. Calculate the molar ratios
Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer
C:H:O = 1:2:1
5. Write the empirical formula
The empirical formula is CH₂O.
6. Calculate the molecular formula.
EF Mass = (12.01 + 2.016 + 16.00) u = 30.03 u
The molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula.
MF = (EF)ₙ

MF = (CH₂O)₅ = C₅H₁₀O₅
The molecular formula of X is C₅H₁₀O₅.
