Determine the total grams of Potassium Iodate solution
To determine the total grams of Potassium Iodate solution, you need to know the concentration of the solution and the volume of the solution.
Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Look for the concentration of the Potassium Iodate solution. This is usually given in units of moles per liter (M or mol/L).
2. Convert the concentration to grams per liter (g/L) by using the molar mass of Potassium Iodate. The molar mass of Potassium Iodate (KIO3) is approximately 214 grams per mole (g/mol). Multiply the concentration (in M) by the molar mass to get the concentration in g/L.
3. Determine the volume of the Potassium Iodate solution in liters.
4. Multiply the concentration (in g/L) by the volume (in liters) to get the mass of Potassium Iodate in grams.
For example, let's say the concentration of the Potassium Iodate solution is 0.1 M and the volume is 500 mL (which is equivalent to 0.5 L):
1. The concentration is 0.1 M.
2. Converting to g/L: 0.1 M * 214 g/mol = 21.4 g/L.
3. The volume is 0.5 L.
4. Total mass of Potassium Iodate = 21.4 g/L * 0.5 L = 10.7 grams.
So, the total grams of Potassium Iodate solution in this example would be 10.7 grams.
