Title: word problem
Post by: blindsided on November 15, 2007, 08:56:56 PM

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 12.5grams of NaHCO3 in 350mL solution?

so far I have:

12.5gNaHCO3 X  1mol/84gNaHCO3= .149molNaHCO3


I think next i should do:


.149mol/.35L= .43M NaHCO3

Not sure though.

Dear Blindsided;


Yes!  OK. - Please go ahead.  (MolaRity = mol / Liter).

Good Luck!

Dear Blindsided;


Once again: Yes!  - A little bit more exact: 0.425 mol NaHCO₃ / Liter.

Good Luck!
