A 3.25 L solution is prepared by dissolving 285 g of BaBr2 in water. Determine the molarity.

0.295 mol/L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 3.25 L

Mass of BaBr₂ = 285 g

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Number of moles of solute:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of BaBr₂ = 297.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 285 g/ 297.1 g/mol

Number of moles= 0.959 mol

Molarity:

M = 0.959 mol / 3.25 L

M = 0.295 mol/L

the population of unionid mussels in the hudson river decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. the unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.
