Question

Calculate the molarity of the sodium acetate solution as described below.

Answer 1

Answer:

This question is incomplete.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of given mass and volume, however, the steps below will help solve the completed question. The molarity (M) of a solution is the number of moles of solute per liter of solvent. The formula is illustrated below;

Molarity = number of moles (n) / volume (in liter or dm³)

To calculate the number of moles of NaC₂H₃O₂, we say

number of moles (n) =

given or measured mass of NaC₂H₃O₂ ÷ molar mass of NaC₂H₃O₂

The volume of the solvent must be in liter (same as dm³). Thus, to convert mL to liter, we divide by 1000

The unit for Molarity is M (Molar concentration), mol/L or mol/dm³
