Answer:
The molarity of the solution is 0.335 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]
Explanation:
Molar concentration is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution, be it some molecular, ionic, or atomic species.
Molarity is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a certain volume and is calculated by:
[tex]Molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}[/tex]
Molarity is expressed in units [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex].
Being the molar mass of BaBr2 equal to 297.14 g/mole, that is to say that 1 mole contains 297.14 grams, the mass of 198 grams are contained in:
[tex]198 grams*\frac{1 mole}{297.14 grams} = 0.67 moles[/tex]
So:
- number of moles of solute= 0.67 moles
- volume= 2 L
Replacing in the definition of molarity:
[tex]Molarity=\frac{0.67 moles}{2 L}[/tex]
Solving:
Molarity= 0.335 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]
The molarity of the solution is 0.335 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]
