How to Calculate Initial Molarity of S2O32- in a Trial

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the initial molarity of S2O32- in each trial, use the formula M1V1 = M2V2, where M1 is the molarity of the stock solution (0.010 M Na2S2O3) and V1 is the volume used (1.00 mL). The total volume of the solution is 7.00 mL, which is essential for determining the final molarity (M2). The calculations involve finding the number of moles of Na2S2O3 and then using that to find the molarity of S2O32- in the total volume. With the given data, the molarity can be derived from the known values.

Homework Equations


mol = g/(g/mol)
M1V1=M2V2

The Attempt at a Solution

Keep trying.
 


Hmm. Well that's really not that helpful to me. Do you have a hint on what I should do? I mean, I wouldn't be asking on this forum if I wasn't in need of help.
 


Can anyone help me out with this? I'm stuck.
 


Easier to use the definition of molarity. How many moles compound in each trial? How much volume of finished solution in each trial? Calculate the ratio.

It does not give the number of moles per trial. The question written above is all the information given.

The total volume is 7.00 mL. Is that how much volume of finished solution would be in each trial?

Yes.
 


I'm still struggling.
I've calculated the grams of Na2S2O3 = 1.58 g, but I'm still confused as to how I get the molarity of S2O3

You have the molarity of the stock solution. You have the volume of a trial. These are enough to calculate molarity of a trial.
