Chapter 4, Problem 5SAQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molarity of a given solution containing $55.8\text{g}$ of ${\text{MgCl}}_{\text{2}}$ dissolved in $\text{1}\text{.00}\text{L}$ of a solution is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute that dissolves in per liter of a solution. Molarity is calculated by the formula,

$\text{Molarity(M)}=\frac{\text{Amount}\text{of}\text{solute}\text{(in}\text{mol)}}{\text{Volume}\text{of}\text{solution}\text{(in}\text{L)}}$

To determine: The molarity of a given solution containing $55.8\text{g}$ of ${\text{MgCl}}_{\text{2}}$ dissolved in $\text{1}\text{.00}\text{L}$ of a solution.

Correct answer: The correct option is (c).
