Question

Calculate the molarity of solution of "sodium sulfate" that contains 5.2 grams sodiums sulfate diluted to 500mL

Answer 1

Taking into account the definition of molarity, the molarity of solution of sodium sulfate is 0.0732 $\frac{moles}{liter}$.

Definition of molarity

Molar concentration or molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution and indicates the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution:

$Molarity=\frac{number of moles}{volume}$

Molarity is expressed in units $\frac{moles}{liter}$.

Molarity of solution of sodium sulfate.

In this case, you have:

• number of moles of sodium sulfate= $5.2 grams\frac{1 mole}{142 grams} = 0.0366 moles$ (being 142 g/mole the molar mass of sodiums sulfate)
• volume= 500 mL= 0.5 L (being 1000 mL= 1 L)

Replacing in the definition of molarity:

$Molarity=\frac{0.0366 moles}{0.5 L}$

Solving:

Molarity= 0.0732 $\frac{moles}{liter}$

Finally, the molarity of solution of sodium sulfate is 0.0732 $\frac{moles}{liter}$.
