Answer:
C. 1.17 grams
Explanation:
- The molarity is the no. of moles of solute in a 1.0 L of the solution.
<em>M = (mass/molar mass)solute x (1000/ V)</em>
M = 0.1 M, mass = ??? g, molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol, V = 200.0 mL.
∴ mass of NaCl = (M)(molar mass)(V)/1000 = (0.1 M)(58.44 g/mol)(200.0 mL)/1000 = 1.168 g ≅ 1.17 g.
The molar mass of the compound potassium nitrate, KNO3 is equal to 101.1032 g/mol. Then, we determine the number of moles present in the given amount,
n = 11.75g / (101.1032 g/mol) = 0.116 mol
Then, molarity is calculated by dividing the number of moles by the volume of the solution. The answer is therefore 0.058 M.
