There
are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes
molarity. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of
the solution. We calculate the mass of the solute by first determining the number of moles needed. And by using the molar mass, we can convert it to units of mass.
Moles (nh4)3po4 = 0.250 L (0.150 M) = 0.0375 moles (nh4)3po4
Mass = 0.0375 mol (nh4)3po4 (149.0867 g / mol) = 5.59 g (nh4)3po4
