calculate the molarity if a sufficient amount of water is used to prepare 946.5ml of solution containing 64.43g Lico3( molar mass =73.89g/ mol
Mass of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) = 64.43 g
Molar mass of lithium carbonate = 73.89 g/mol
Moles of lithium carbonate = mass of lithium carbonate / molar mass of lithium carbonate
= 64.43 g / 73.89 g/mol
= 0.8720 mol
Volume of the solution = 946.5 mL = 0.9465 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L)
Molarity = moles of solute / liter of solution
= 0.8720 mol / 0.9465 L
= 0.9213 M
Hence, the molarity of the solution = 0.9213 M
