Chapter 16, Problem 4PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of sodium sulfate dissolved in $\text{2}\text{.00}\text{L}$ of a $\text{0}\text{.12}\text{M}$ sodium sulfate 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. This can be expressed mathematically as shown below.

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

Where,

• $\text{M}$ is the molarity.

• $\text{n}$ is the number of moles of solute.

• $\text{V}$ is the volume of solution in liters.
