(b) The sodium sulfate solution was made by dissolving 28.4g of sodium sulfate in
water to make 250 cm of solution.
Calculate the concentration of this solution in g dm?.
Give your answer to three significant figures.

Respuesta :

Answer: The concentration of this solution is [tex]114g/dm^3[/tex]

Explanation:

Concentration of a solution is defined as the number of grams of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Given : mass of solute = 28.4 g

volume of solution = [tex]250cm^3=0.25dm^3[/tex]      [tex]1cm^3=0.001dm^3[/tex]  

[tex]Concentration=\frac{28.4g}{0.25dm^3}=114g/dm^3[/tex]

Thus the concentration of this solution is [tex]114g/dm^3[/tex]

By definition and change of units, the concentration of this solution is 113.6 [tex]\frac{grams}{dm^{3} }[/tex].

Chemical concentration determines the ratio of solute and solvent in a chemical solution and is defined as the ratio of the amount or volume of solute to the amount of solution. The more solute, the higher the concentration in a solution.

In this case, you know:

mass of solute= 28.4 g

volume of solution= 250 cm³= 0.25 dm³ (being 1 cm³= 0.001 dm³)

Then, the concentration can be calculated as:

[tex]concentration= \frac{28.4 grams}{0.25 dm^{3} }[/tex]

Concentration= 113.6 [tex]\frac{grams}{dm^{3} }[/tex]

Thus the concentration of this solution is 113.6 [tex]\frac{grams}{dm^{3} }[/tex].
