Chapter 12, Problem 38E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molarity of the given solution is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The same solute and solvent can form a number of combinations by varying their amounts. These combinations can be differentiated in terms of concentration of solution. The amount of solute present in a given amount of solvent is defined as its concentration.

The number of moles is calculated as follows:

$\text{Number of moles =}\frac{\text{Mass }}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Molarity is the number of moles of solute present in one liter of a solution, and is expressed as follows:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution}}$
