Answer:
The molarity of the solution is 1.7 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex].
Explanation:
Molarity (M) or Molar Concentration is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a certain volume.
The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution:
[tex]Molarity=\frac{moles of solute}{volume of the solute}[/tex]
Molarity is expressed in units [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex].
In this case, you know:
- moles of solute= 5.1
- volume= 3 L
Replacing:
[tex]Molarity=\frac{5.1 moles}{3 L}[/tex]
Solving:
Molarity= 1.7 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]
The molarity of the solution is 1.7 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex].
