Answer:
0.2mol/dm³
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of Na₂CO₃ = 10.6g
Volume of solution = 500mL
Unknown:
Molarity of solution = ?
Solution:
The molarity of a solution can be determined using the expression below:
Molarity = [tex]\frac{number of moles }{volume}[/tex]
Number of moles = [tex]\frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex]
Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ = 2(23) + 12 + 3(16) = 106g/mol
Number of moles = [tex]\frac{10.6}{106}[/tex] = 0.1mol
Convert mL to dm³;
500mL will give 500 x 10⁻³dm³or 0.5dm³
So;
Molarity = [tex]\frac{0.1}{0.5}[/tex] = 0.2mol/dm³
