Here's why:
* Molarity is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution.
* The solution is the combination of the solute (FeBr3) and the solvent (water).
To calculate the molarity, you need the following:
1. Moles of solute (FeBr3): You already have this (3 moles).
2. Total volume of the solution (in liters): This is missing from your information.
Example:
Let's say you dissolve those 3 moles of FeBr3 in enough water to make a total volume of 2 L. Then the molarity would be:
Molarity = (3 moles FeBr3) / (2 L solution) = 1.5 M
Important Note: It's generally not accurate to assume the volume of the solution is the same as the volume of the water added. When you dissolve a solute, the volume can change slightly.
