Chapter 16, Problem 16.171QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The unknown metal in the given metal carbonate ${\text{MCO}}_{\text{3}}$ has to be found

Concept Information:

Molarity:

Molarity can be defined as the ratio of number of moles of solute to the number of litres of solution.  The concentration of solute in solution is measured using a concentration unit called molarity.

The unit of molarity is moles per litre.

The equation for molarity can be given as,

$\text{Molarity (M)}\text{= }\frac{numberofmolesofsolute}{litresofsolution}$

To Find: The unknown metal (M) in the given metal carbonate ${\text{MCO}}_{\text{3}}$
