Understanding Molarity
Molarity (M) is a unit of concentration that expresses the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. The formula is:
Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution
Applying the Formula
1. Identify the values:
- Moles of solute (KCl) = 0.202 moles
- Liters of solution = 7.98 L
2. Substitute the values into the formula:
Molarity (M) = 0.202 moles / 7.98 L
3. Calculate the molarity:
Molarity (M) ≈ 0.0253 M
Answer: The molarity of the KCl solution is approximately 0.0253 M.
