Chapter 13, Problem 107E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molarity and mass percent of the given solution is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Molarity can be defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

Mathematically, molarity $\left(\text{M}\right)$ will be as follows:

$\text{M=}\frac{\text{Moles solute}}{\text{Liters solution}}$…… (1)

The volume of solution should be in liters.

The mass percent is the mass of solute present in $100\text{ g}$ of solution.

Mathematically, it will be as follows:

$\text{Mass percent = }\frac{\text{Mass solute}}{\text{Mass solution}}\times 100\%$…… (2)
