Concept tested: Molarity
What is molarity?
How is molarity calculated?
In this case, we are given;
We are required to calculate the molarity of NaHCO₂ solution;
We are going to use the following steps;
Moles = Mass ÷ molar mass
Molar mass of NaHCO₂ = 68.0072 g/mol
Therefore;
Moles of NaHCO₂ = 1.935 g ÷ 68.0072 g/mol
= 0.0285 moles
We know that molarity = Moles ÷ Volume
Molarity = 0.0285 moles ÷ 0.4 L
= 0.07125 moles/Liter
= 0.07125 M
Thus, the molarity of the solution is 0.07125 M
