Answer:
41L
Explanation:
Of a 4.8x10⁻⁵M mercury (II) iodide that contains 900mg of mercury (II) iodide. 2 significant digits
Molarity, M, is an unit of concentration in chemistry defined as the ratio between moles of solute (Mercury (II) iodide in this case) per Liter of solution.
A 4.8x10⁻⁵M solution contains 4.8x10⁻⁵ moles of solute per liter.
Now, 900mg = 0.900g of mercury (II) iodide (Molar mass: 454.4g/mol) are:
0.900g × (1mol / 454.4g) = 1.98x10⁻³moles of HgI₂
If in 1L there are 4.8x10⁻⁵ moles of HgI₂, There are 1.98x10⁻³moles of HgI₂ in:
1.98x10⁻³moles of HgI₂ ₓ (1L / 4.8x10⁻⁵moles) =
