The forensic technician at a crime scene has just prepared a luminol stock solution by adding 17.0 \({\rm g}\) of luminol into a total volume of 75.0 \(\rm mL\) of \(\rm H_2O\). What is the molarity of the stock solution of luminol

1.28 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of luminol (solute): 17.0 g

Volume of water: 75.0 mL (this is also the volume of solution)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 17.0 g of luminol

The molar mass of luminol is 177.16 g/mol.

17.0 g × 1 mol/177.16 g = 0.0960 mol

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the solution

We will use the definition of molarity

M = moles of solute / liters of solution

M = 0.0960 mol / 0.0750 L = 1.28 M

they are made of gases.

they have a spherical shape.

they make energy through fusion.
