How do you calculate the molecular weight of an unknown salt
given the concentration and known mass?
Unknown starting mass: 0.0484g
Unknown concentration: 0.00552 mM
Unknown concentration: 0.00552 mM = 0.00552*10^-3M
let volume of solution is 1 liter
no of moles = molarity * volume of solution in L
= 0.00552*10^-3 *1 = 0.00552*10^-3 moles
molar mass of unknown salt = mass of salt/no of moles
= 0.0484/0.00552*10^-3 = 8768.11g/mole
