a chemist prepares a solution of potassium permanganate by measuring out of potassium permanganate into a volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. calculate the concentration in of the chemist's potassium permanganate solution. round your answer to significant digits.

Respuesta :

The Concentration is 0.19 mol/L i.e., also known as molarity which is calculated below.

Step 1: Calculation of molarity

Molarity is  defined to be the number of moles of solute divided by volume of solution in liters

i.e.,    Molarity(M)= number of moles of solute / volume of solution ( in L )

Step 2: Calculate the moles  of KMnO4

Given,

Mass = 5.9 g

Molar mass of KMnO4 = 158.034 g/mol

we know,  moles = mass / molar mass

moles of KMnO4  = 5.9 g / 158.034 g/mol = 0.037334 mol

Step 3: Calculation of molarity

Volume of solution = 200 mL = 0.200 L  

[ because 1 L=1000 mL   so, 200 mL = ( 200 mL  ×  ( 1 L / 1000 mL) = 0.200 L ]

Since we know ,

molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution in L

molarity = 0.037334 mol /0.200 L = 0.19 mol/L        

Hence, the Concentration is 0.19 mol/L
