Explanation / Answer

1)

a)

MnSO4 => Mn2+ + SO42-

molarity = no. of moles/ volume in litres

= (21.3/151) / 0.5

= 0.282 M

b) 0.282 M

c) 0.282 M

2) Similarily for CH3COONa

a) molarity of solution = (24.8/82.0343) /0.375= 0.806 M

b) 0.806M

c) 0.806M

3) Cr(NO3)3

a) molarity= (14.3/ 238) / 0.25 = 0.24 M

b) 0.24M

c) 0.72M
