Question

How do you calculate the molarity of each solution 1.0 mol KCI in 750 mL of solution and then 0.50 mol `MgCl_2` in 1.5 L of solution?

Answer 1

With ease.........we use the quotient...

`"Molarity"="Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"`

Explanation:

And thus `[KCl]=(1.0*mol)/(0.750*L)=1.33*mol*L^-1`.

And `[MgCl_2]=(0.50*mol)/(1.50*L)=0.33*mol*L^-1`.

I include the units because when you have to calculate a volume or the moles of solute present, it is fairly easy to decide when to divide and when to multiply, simply by reference to the given units.
