44 grams of carbon dioxide, co₂, is dissolved in 5000 ml of solution. determine the molarity (m).

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate molar mass of CO₂

The molar mass of C is 12 g/mol and of O is 16 g/mol. For CO₂, molar mass $M_{CO_2}=12 + 2\times16=44$ g/mol.

Step2: Calculate moles of CO₂

Use the formula $n=\frac{m}{M}$, where $m = 44$ g and $M = 44$ g/mol. So, $n=\frac{44}{44}=1$ mol.

Step3: Convert volume to liters

Given volume $V = 5000$ mL. Since 1 L = 1000 mL, $V=\frac{5000}{1000}=5$ L.

Step4: Calculate molarity

Use the formula $M=\frac{n}{V}$, where $n = 1$ mol and $V = 5$ L. So, $M=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$ mol/L.

Answer:

$0.2$
