A 2.0% (w/v) solution of sodium hydrogen citrate, Na2C6H6O7, which also contains 2.5% (w/v) of dextrose, C6H12O6, is used as an anticoagulant for blood which is to be used for transfusions. What is the molarity of the sodium hydrogen citrate in the solution

0.0847M is molarity of sodium hydrogen citrate in the solution

Explanation:

The 2.0%(w/v) solution of sodium hydrogen citrate contains 2g of the solute in 100mL of solution. To find the molarity of the solution we need to convert the mass of solute to moles using molar mass and the mL of solution to Liters because molarity is the ratio between moles of sodium hydrogen citrate and liters of solution.

Moles Na2C6H6O7:

Molar Mass:

2Na: 2*22.99g/mol: 45.98g/mol

6C: 6*12.01g/mol: 72.01g/mol

6H: 6*1.008g/mol: 6.048g/mol

7O: 7*16g/mol: 112g/mol

45.98g/mol + 72.01g/mol + 6.048g/mol + 112g/mol = 236.038g/mol

Moles of 2g:

2g * (1mol / 236.038g) = 8.473x10⁻³ moles

Liters solution:

100mL * (1L / 1000mL) = 0.100L

Molarity:

8.473x10⁻³ moles / 0.100L =

space exploration has led to the development and technological improvement of many everyday items. (if this answer is wrong i will find the right answer) : )

i think that the answer is c
