Therefore, the total number of particles contributed by 0.39M Na2CO3 is:
2 Na+ ions/molecule x 0.39M + 1 CO32- ion/molecule x 0.39M = 1.17M
Osmolarity is defined as the total concentration of solute particles per liter of solution, taking into account the dissociation of molecules into ions. So, the osmolarity of 0.39M Na2CO3 is:
1.17M
Therefore, the osmolarity of 0.39M Na2CO3 is 1.17 mOsm/L.
