Answer:
34.03 g
Explanation:
We'll begin by converting 635 mL to L. This can be obtained as follow:
1000 mL = 1 L
Therefore,
635 mL = 635 mL × 1 L / 1000 mL
635 mL = 0.635 L
Thus, 635 mL is equivalent to 0.635 L
Next, we shall determine the number of mole of the solute (KBr) in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:
Volume = 0.635 L
Molarity = 0.450 M
Mole of KBr =?
Mole = Molarity × Volume
Mole of KBr = 0.450 × 0.635
Mole of KBr = 0.286 mole
Finally, we shall determine the mass of 0.286 mole of KBr. This can be obtained as follow:
Mole of KBr = 0.286 mole
Molar mass of KBr = 39 + 80
= 119 g/mol
Mass of KBr =?
Mass = mole × molar mass
Mass of KBr = 0.286 × 119
Mass of KBr = 34.03 g
Thus, the mass of the solute (KBr) in the solution is 34.03 g
