In the laboratory you dissolve 12.7 g of silver fluoride in a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 125. mL. What is the molarity of the solution?

Molarity = 2.4 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of silver fluoride = 12.7 g

Volume of water = 125 mL (125 mL× 1 L /1000 mL = 0.125 L)

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of silver fluoride:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 12.7 g/ 41.98 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.30 mol

Molarity:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume in L

Molarity = 0.30 mol / 0.125 L

Molarity = 2.4 M
