Chapter 16, Problem 5PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of a $\text{1}\text{.10}\text{M}$ solution that contains $\text{5}\text{.29}\text{g}$ of ammonium sulfate 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.
