Complete Question:

A chemist prepares a solution of silver (I) perchlorate (AgCIO4) by measuring out 134.g of silver (I) perchlorate into a 50.ml volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in mol/L of the silver (I) perchlorate solution. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

13 mol/L

Explanation:

The concentration in mol/L is the molarity of the solution and indicates how much moles have in 1 L of it. So, the molarity (M) is the number of moles (n) divided by the volume (V) in L:

M = n/V

The number of moles is the mass (m) divided by the molar mass (MM). The molar mass of silver(I) perchlorate is 207.319 g/mol, so:

n = 134/207.319

n = 0.646 mol

So, for a volume of 50 mL (0.05 L), the concentration is:

M = 0.646/0.05

M = 12.92 mol/L

Rounded to 2 significant digits, M = 13 mol/L
