Expert Solution
Step 1Introduction

Molarity

  • It is defined as the number of moles of a substance dissolved in 1 litre of a solution. 
  • It is used to describe the concentration of a solution. 

 

Moles: 

Number of moles =Weight in grams/Molecular Weight                               

 

Step 2 Interpretation of information given in the question

According to the question 

 

  • A chemist prepares a solution of Aluminum sulfite solution by dissolving 179 µmoles of Aluminum sulfite in 300 ml of water. 
  • 179 µmoles is equal to 0.000179 moles or 0.179 mmoles 
  • Weight in grams=Number of moles*Molecular Weight                               = 0.000179*342.15                               = 0.0612 gms/300 ml of water
  • It means the chemist has dissolved 0.0612 grams of Aluminum sulfite in 300 ml of water.
