11 grams of carbon dioxide, co₂, is dissolved in 1000 ml of solution. determine the molarity (m).
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate the molar mass of (CO_2)
The molar mass of (C) is (12.01\space g/mol), and the molar mass of (O) is (16.00\space g/mol). For (CO_2), (M = 12.01+(2\times16.00)=44.01\space g/mol)
Step2: Calculate the number of moles of (CO_2)
Use the formula (n=\frac{m}{M}), where (m = 11\space g) and (M = 44.01\space g/mol). So (n=\frac{11}{44.01}\approx0.25\space mol)
Step3: Convert the volume of the solution to liters
Given (V = 1000\space mL). Since (1\space L=1000\space mL), then (V = 1\space L)
Step4: Calculate the molarity
Use the formula (M=\frac{n}{V}). Substitute (n = 0.25\space mol) and (V = 1\space L). So (M=\frac{0.25}{1}=0.25\space M)
Answer:
(0.25)
