Calculate the molarity of a solution with 114.95 grams of sodium dissolved in 2 L of water.

The molarity of a solution is 2.5 M

Explanation:

Molarity is a concentration unit that describes how much of a solution is dissolved in solution.

Molarity of a solution can found by using the formula,

Molarity (M) = (moles of solute)/(Liters of Solution).

Given, mass of Sodium = 114.95 grams.

Volume of water = 2 L.

Here, Sodium is solute as it is dissolved in water, which is the solvent.

Moles of Sodium(solute) can be found by using the formula,

Number of Moles = mass/Molecular weight.

mass of Sodium = 114.95 grams.

Molecular weight = 22.989 grams

Number of Moles of Sodium(solute) =114.95/22.989 = 5.

Substituting the values in the formula, we get,

M = 5/2 = 2.5 M

56 moles of   lieter in chemistry
