1) what is the concentration in mol dm3 of a solution of potassium hydroxide, KOH, containing 4.13g dm3?




2) what is the concentration in g dm3 of a solution of potassium manganete (v11) KMnO4, containing 0.0200 mol dm3?

All you have to do is convert grams to moles for the first one. The second question is the reverse of the first.

moles=mass/Mr

1) what is the concentration in mol dm3 of a solution of potassium hydroxide, KOH, containing 4.13g dm3?

Moles = Mass / Relative Molecular Mass


2) what is the concentration in g dm3 of a solution of potassium manganete (v11) KMnO4, containing 0.0200 mol dm3?

Mass = Moles * Relative molecular mass.

use the formula of g dm-3 = mol dm-3 * Mr

I'm fairly sure that six years later, greenford will have finished his A-level chemistry course, finished his degree and probably has a job, husband/wife and kids by now.

Your answer, though, is correct.

well it was for anyone else stuck on that question, just like I was and I found the answer though some research, so I thought it would make others' life easier if I answered the question.

And here I am 8 years later wondering how everyone is doing.
