Chapter 6.5, Problem 6.4P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The objective is to find the molarity of KSCN solution obtained by dissolving 0.440 g of KSCN in enough water to make 340. mL of solution.

Concept Introduction:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the amount of solute dissolve in 1 L of solution.

It is mathematically represented as follows:

$M=\frac{n}{V}$

Here, n is number of moles of solute and v is volume of solution is L.

Also, number of moles are related to mass and molar mass as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Here, m is mass and m is molar mass.
