Question

14.2 grams of Na2 so4 is dissolved in water to make a 2.50 L solution.What is molarity of solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.04 M

Explanation:

Data

mass of Na₂SO₄ = 14.2 g

volume = 2.50 l

Molarity = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of Na₂SO₄

Na₂SO₄ = (23 x 2) + (32 x 1) + (16 x 4) = 46 + 32 + 64 = 142 g

2.- Calculate the number of moles of Na₂SO₄

                    142 g of Na₂SO₄ ------------------- 1 mol

                     14.2 g of Na₂SO₄ ------------------  x

                                   x = (14.2 x 1) / 142

                                   x = 0.1 moles

3.- Calculate the molarity

Molarity = moles /volume

-Substitution

Molarity = 0.1 / 2.5

-Result

Molarity = 0.04
