ad-work [718]

Answer:

1.67mol/L

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mole of solute (K2CO3) = 5.51 moles

Volume of solution = 3.30 L

Molarity =?

Molarity is simply the mole of solute per unit litre of the solution. It can be expressed mathematically as:

Molarity = mole of solute /Volume of solution

Molarity = 5.51 mol/3.30 L

Molarity = 1.67mol/L

Therefore, the molarity of K2CO3 is 1.67mol/L

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Water near the poles often have higher salinity because Cold polar air cools the water and lowers its temperature, increasing its salinity. Fresh water freezes out of seawater to become sea ice, which also increases the salinity of the remaining water.
