Question

Molarity, chemistry general chemistry

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 0.026 M

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of the molar concentration of a solution. It can be calculated by using the following formula:

Molarity = n/V

Where;

n = number of moles (mol)

V = Volume of solution (L)

Based on the information provided;

V = 23.2mL = 23.2/1000 = 0.0232 L

n = ?

To get the number of moles of KHP, we use the formula:

mole = mass/molar mass

mole (n) = 0.123/204.2

mole (n) = 0.0006024mol

Molarity = n/V

Molarity = 0.0006024 ÷ 0.0232

Molarity = 6.024 × 10^-4 ÷ 2.32 × 10^-2

Molarity = 6.024/2.32 × 10^(-4--2)

Molarity = 2.59 × 10^-2

Molarity = 0.026 M
