The concentration of Mg2+ in a sample of coastal seawater is 1.09 g/kg. What is the molar concentration of Mg2+ in water with a density of 1.02 g/mL?
concentration of Mg+2 = 1.09 g / kg
moles of Mg+2 = 1.09 / 24.3 = 0.04485 mol
mass of water = 1 kg = 1000 g
volume of water = 1000 / 1.02 = 980.39 mL
= 0.980 mL
Molar concentration = moles / volume
= 0.04485 / 0.980
Molar concentration of Mg+2 = 0.0458 mol / L
