Question

need help with finding molarity thanks! 

**Problem Statement:**

An aqueous potassium iodate (KIO₃) solution is made by dissolving 548 grams of KIO₃ in sufficient water so that the final volume of the solution is 3.90 L. Calculate the molarity of the KIO₃ solution.

**Equation to Solve:**

\[ \text{[KIO}_3\text{]} = \]

**Solution Approach:**

To determine the molarity of the KIO₃ solution, use the formula:
\[ \text{Molarity (M)} = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{liters of solution}} \]

**Steps:**

1. **Calculate the moles of KIO₃:**
   - Determine the molar mass of KIO₃ using atomic masses (K: 39.10 g/mol, I: 126.90 g/mol, O: 16.00 g/mol).
   - Molar mass of KIO₃ = 39.10 + 126.90 + 3(16.00) = 214.00 g/mol.
   - Moles of KIO₃ = \(\frac{548 \text{ g}}{214.00 \text{ g/mol}}\).

2. **Calculate the molarity:**
   - Use the calculated moles of KIO₃ and the given volume of the solution (3.90 L) to find molarity.

\[ \text{[KIO}_3\text{]} = \text{moles of KIO}_3 \div 3.90 \text{ L} \]
