What is the molarity of KMnO4

in a solution of 0.0908 g of KMnO4
in 0.500 L of
solution?​


Sagot :

Given:

mass of solute = 0.0908 g

volume of solution = 0.500 L

solute: KMnO₄

Required:

molarity

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of solute.

molar mass of solute = (39.10 g/mol × 1) + (54.94 g/mol × 1) + (16.00 g/mol × 4)

molar mass of solute = 158.04 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of solute.

[tex]\text{moles of solute} = \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{moles of solute} = \frac{\text{0.0908 g}}{\text{158.04 g/mol}}[/tex]

moles of solute = 0.000574538 mol

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of solution.

[tex]\text{molarity} = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{molarity} = \frac{\text{0.000574538 mol}}{\text{0.500 L}}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\text{molarity = 0.00115 M}}[/tex]
