734 g of Li2SO4 is dissolved in a 2510 mL solution. What is the concentration of the solution? Report your answer with the correct number of significant figures.

Answer:

Concentration = 3.105 mol/L

Explanation:

To determine the concentration of a solution it can be identified by means of the Molarity equation:

[tex]M=\frac{# mol}{volume (L)}[/tex]

Milliliters to liters are converted:

2510 mL = 2.150 L

[tex]mol=\frac{mass (g)}{MW}[/tex]

The molecular weight of Li2SO4 is determined for the calculation of moles:

[tex]mol=\frac{734g}{109.94g/mol}=6.6764mol[/tex]

[tex]M=\frac{6.6764mol}{2.15 L}=3.105 \frac{mol}{L}[/tex]

Answer: 2.66 M

Explanation:

The molecular mass of Li2SO4 is 109.94 g/mol

Calculate moles:

734 g109.94 g/mol=6.68 mol

Calculate molarity:

M= 6.68 mol / 2.51 L

= 2.66 M
