Answer:
A. Yes, Amanda find the number of moles of NaCl correctly.
B. 0.73 M.
Explanation:
<em>A. Did Amanda find the number of moles of NaCl correctly? If not, explain.</em>
- Yes, Amanda find the number of moles of NaCl correctly.
- The relation to find the no. of moles of NaCl is:
<em>No. of moles (n) of NaCl = mass/molar mass.</em>
mass of NaCl = 32.0 g, molar mass of NaCl = 58.45 g/mol.
∴ No. of moles (n) of NaCl = mass/molar mass = (32.0 g)/(58.45 g/mol) = (32.0 g NaCl)*(1 mol of NaCl)/(58.45 g NaCl) = 0.547 mol ≅ 0.55 mol.
<em>B. What does Amanda need to do next to calculate the molarity of the NaCl solution? Show your work for full credit.</em>
- Molarity is the no. of moles of solute dissolved in a 1.0 liter of a solution.
∴ M = (no. of moles of NaCl)/(volume of solution (L)) = (0.55 mol)/(0.75 L) = 0.73 M.
