Chapter 16, Problem 3PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molarity of a solution that was prepared by addition of $\text{10}\text{.4}\text{g}$ of potassium chloride to sufficient water to make a total of $5.00\times {10}^2\text{mL}$ of solution is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The number of moles of solute per liter of solution is known as molarity. In order to calculate the molarity, the moles of solute are divided by the volume of solution in liters. The formula for molarity is given by the expression as shown below.

$\text{M}=\frac{\text{n}}{\text{V}}$
