Answer:
1 M
Explanation:
The molarity of a solution, M, is a measure of the concentration of that solution and it refers to the number of moles of solute (mol) per liter (L) of solution. The molarity (M) can be calculated using the formula:
M = number of moles (n) /volume (V)
In this question, a 500 ml aqueous solution of Na3PO4 was prepared using 82g of the solute.
Molar mass of Na3PO4 = 23(3) + 15 + 16(4)
= 69 + 31 + 64
= 164g/mol
Mole = mass/molar mass
mole = 82/164
mole = 0.5 mol
Volume in Litres (L) = 500 ml ÷ 1000 = 0.500L
Therefore, Molarity (M) = 0.5/0.500
Molarity = 1 M or 1 mol/L
