Considering the definition of molarity and molar mass, the mass of NaF required is 3.771 grams.
<h3>Definition of molarity</h3>Molar concentration or molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution and indicates the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.
The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution:
Molarity is expressed in units .
The molar mass of substance is a property defined as its mass per unit quantity of substance, in other words, molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.
<h3 /><h3>Mass of NaF required</h3>In this case, you know:
- molarity= 0.15 M= 0.15
- number of moles= ?
- volume= 600 mL= 0.6 L
Replacing in the definition of molarity:
Solving:
0.15 × 0.6 L= number of moles
<u><em>0.09 moles= number of moles</em></u>
The molar mass of NaF is 41. 9 g/mol. So, you can apply the following rule of three: If by definition of molar mass 1 mole of the compound contains 41.9 grams, 0.09 moles of the compound contains how much mass?
<u><em>mass= 3.771 grams</em></u>
Finally, the mass of NaF required is 3.771 grams.
