You dissolve 0.64 g of potassium chloride (KCl) in 725 ml of water.
What is the molarity of the solution?
(From the periodic table: 1 mol K = 39.10 g; 1 mol Cl = 35.453 g)
Enter the value rounded to three decimal places with no units

Answer:

0.012 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

  • Mass of KCl (m): 0.64 g
  • Volume of water (V): 725 mL (We will assume it is equal to the volume of the solution)
  • Molar mass of KCl (M): 74.553 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the moles (n) of solute (KCl)

We will use the following expression.

n = m/M = 0.64 g / (74.553 g/mol) = 8.6 × 10⁻³ mol

Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration (C) of the solution

The molarity is equal to the moles of solute divided by the liters of solution.

C = 8.6 × 10⁻³ mol/0.725 L = 0.012 M
