Question : 44
Total: 53
Calculate the molarity of each of the following solutions :
(a) 30 g of Co(NO3)2ยท6H2O in 4.3 L of solution (b) 30 mL of 0.5 M H2SO4 diluted to 500 mL (atomic mass of cobalt = 58.7)
Solution:  
(a)โ€ŒMolarโ€Œmassโ€Œofโ€ŒCo( NO3 )2.6H2 O =58.7+2(14+48)+6ร—18
=290.7gmolโˆ’1

(b) Given V1=30 mL, M1=0.5,V2=500 mL, M2=?
Using formula, V1M1=V2M2
or, 30ร—0.5=500ร—M2
or, M2=0.03
Molarity of solution =0.03M
