Let us assume that there is a 100g sample of Opal. The masses of each element will be:
29.2g Si
33.3g O
37.5g H2O
Now we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to get the moles present
Si: (29.2 / 28) = 1.04
O: (33.3 / 16) = 2.08
H2O: (37.5 / 18) = 2.08
Now we divide by the smallest number and obtain:
Si: 1
O: 2
H2O: 2
Thus, the empirical formula of Opal is:
SiO2 . 2H2O
Answer:
1.42 M
Explanation:
First calculate the amount of moles.
that's done by dividing the mass with the molecular mass so 660g / 310.18 g/mol = 2.13 mol
Then you can calculate the molarity by dividing the moles with the volume so 2.13 mol / 1.5 l = 1.42 M
(without rounding: 1.418531175 M)
