Chapter 12, Problem 12.137QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Molarity of aqueous copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate solution that contains $\text{15 \%}$ ${\text{CuSO}}_4.5H_{2}O$ by mass has to be calculated

Concept Introduction:

Mass percent is one of the many parameters that is used to express concentration of a solution.  It is expressed as,

$\text{Mass percent of a solute = }\frac{mass\text{ of solute}}{mass\text{ of solution}}\times \text{ 100\%}$

Molarity is a term used to express concentration of a solution.  It is expressed as,

$\text{Molarity = }\frac{number\text{ of }molesof\text{ solute}}{volume\text{ of solution in L}}$
