Problem 43P
Calculate the molarity of each aqueous solution:
(a) 78.0 mL of 0.240 M NaOH diluted to 0.250 L with water
(b) 38.5 mL of 1.2 M HNO3 diluted to 0.130 L with water
ANSWER:
Solution 43P:
Here, we are going to calculate the molarity of each aqueous solution.
Step 1: (a)
We know that
Molarity (M) =
The molarity of a dilute solution can be calculated by using the following equation:
Mdil Vdil = Mconc Vconc ----(1)
Where Mdil is the concentration of dilute solution
Mconc is the concentration of concentrated solution
Vdil is the volume of dilute solution
Vconc is the volume of concentrated solution
Given that,
Mconc = 0.240 M
Vconc = 78.0 mL =0.078 L
Vdil =0.250 L
Therefore, the concentration of the dilute solution is
Mdil Vdil = Mconc Vconc
Mdil = (Mconc Vconc)/Vdil
Mdil =
= 0.07488 M
Thus, the concentration of the dilute solution is 0.0749 M.
