10-Concentration is the amount of a substance in a predefined volume of space. The basic measurement of concentration in chemistry is molarity or the number of moles of solute per liter of solvent. What is the molarity of a solution containing 9.478 grams of Rucl, in enough water to make 1.00 L of solution?

Concentration is the amount of a substance in a predefined volume of space. The basic measurement of concentration in chemistry is molarity or the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. What is the molarity of a solution containing 9.478 grams of RuCl₃, in enough water to make 1.00 L of solution?

Step 1: Given data

Mass of RuCl₃ (solute): 9.478 g

Volume of solution: 1.00 L

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 9.478 g of RuCl₃

The molar mass of RuCl₃ is 207.4 g/mol.

9.478 g × 1 mol/207.4 g = 0.04570 mol

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the solution

We will use the definition of molarity.

M = moles of solute / liters of solution

M = 0.04570 mol / 1.00 L = 0.0457 M
