The average concentration of bromde ion in seawater is 65 mg of bromide ion per kg of seawater. what is the molarity of the bromide ion if the density of seawater is 1.025 g/ml

Usually concentrations are expressed as molarity, or moles of solute per liter solution. First, convert the mass of bromide ion to moles. The molar mass of bromine is 79.904 g/mol.

Moles of bromine = 65 mg * 1 g/1000 mg * 1 mol/79.904 g = 8.135*10⁻⁴ moles

Next, convert the mass of seawater to volume using the density.

Volume of seawater = 1 kg * 1 m³ / 1,025 kg * 1000 L/1 m³ = 0.976 L

Thus,

Molarity = 8.135*10⁻⁴ moles/0.976 L = 8.335*10⁻⁴ M
