SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating molar concentrations and the mass of solute in solutions. The molar concentration of 0.50 mol of NaCl in 0.30L of solution is confirmed to be 1.7 mol/L. Additionally, to find the mass of solute in 1.00L of a 0.045 mol/L Ca(OH)2 solution, the formula nCa(OH)2 = CCa(OH)2 x Vsolution is used, followed by mCa(OH)2 = nCa(OH)2 x M(Ca(OH)2) to determine the mass. These calculations are essential for accurate solution preparation in chemistry.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of molarity and molar concentration
  • Familiarity with the concept of moles in chemistry
  • Knowledge of molar mass calculations
  • Basic arithmetic skills for performing calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to calculate molar mass for various compounds
  • Explore the concept of dilution and its effects on concentration
  • Study the principles of solution stoichiometry
  • Investigate the applications of molarity in real-world chemical scenarios
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, laboratory technicians, and anyone involved in solution preparation and concentration calculations will benefit from this discussion.

Hi, I need help with this question

what is the molar concentration of 0.50 mol of NaCl dissolved in 0.30L of solution?

=moles of solute/leters of solution
=0.50mol/0.30L
=1.7 mol/L

Is this correct?

and

what mass of solute is present in 1.00L of 0.045 mol/L of Ca(oH)2, solution

I have no idea how to do this one

Yes, it is. :-p

what mass of solute is present in 1.00L of 0.045 mol/L of Ca(oH)2, solution

I have no idea how to do this one

First find how many moles of Ca(OH)2 there is.
nCa(OH)2 = CCa(OH)2 x Vsolution

Then find the mass of that number os moles:

mCa(OH)2 = nCa(OH)2 x M(Ca(OH)2)

M stands for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_mass" .
