molar mass of
The number of moles = 0.50 moles
The concentration is #0.50 moles/dm cubed
Explanation:
The molar mass of Sodium Carbonate can be found by multiplying the number of each atom times its atomic mass and adding all the masses together.
2 x Na = 2 x 23 = 46
1 x C = 1 x 12 = 12
3 x O = 3 x 16 = 48
+
Total = 106
The number of moles is the mass divided by the molar mass.
53/106 = 0.50 moles
The concentration is the number of moles divided by the volume so
0.50 moles / (
