The concentration of solution in M or mol/L can be calculated using the following formula:

C=\frac{n}{V} .... (1)

Here, n is number of moles and V is volume of solution in L.

The molecular formula of potassium sulfate is K_{2}SO_{4} thus, there are 2 moles of potassium in 1 mol of potassium sulfate.

1 mol of potassium will be there in 0.5 mol of potassium sulfate.

Mass of potassium is 4.15 g, molar mass is 39.1 g/mol.

Number of moles can be calculated as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass

Putting the values,

n=\frac{(4.15 g}{(39.1 g/mol}=0.1061 mol

Thus, number of moles of  K_{2}SO_{4} will be 0.1061\times 0.5=0.053 mol.

The volume of solution is 225 mL, converting this into L,

1 mL=10^{-3}L

Thus,

225 mL=0.225 L

Putting the values in equation (1),

C=\frac{(0.053 mol}{0.225 L}=0.236 M

Therefore, concentration of potassium sulfate solution is 0.236 M.

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The molecular formula lists the symbol of each element within the compound followed by a number (usually in subscript). The letter and number indicate how many of each type of element are in the compound. If there is only one atom of a particular element, then no number is written after the element.
