Question : 44
Total: 53
Calculate the molarity of each of the following solutions :
(a) 30 g of Co(NO3)2·6H2O 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)MolarmassofCo( NO3 )2.6H2 O =58.7+2(14+48)+6×18
=290.7gmol1
Number of moles of Co( NO3)2.6H2 O=

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