Calculate the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 12.3g of Na2CrO4 in enough water to produce a solution with a volume of 900.mL . Express the molarity to three significant digits.
The molarity of Na2CrO4 = 161.97 g/mol
moles of Na2CrO4 = mass of Na2CrO4 / molar mass of Na2CrO4
= 12.3/161.97
= 0.076 moles
0.076 moles are present in 900 mL solution
molarity = moles/1000mL of solvent
= 0.076x1000/900 = 0.0844M
= 8.44 x10-1 M (expressed in three significant figures)
