What mass of Cr(NO3)39H2O is required to make a 100mL volume of a solution that is 2.00×103molL1 with respect to Cr3+?

We need a mass of approx...0.8g

Explanation:

We use the relationship, Concentration=Moles of soluteVolume of solution,

and thus to get the moles of solute, we take the product............

Moles of solute=Concentration×Volume

=100.0mL×103LmL1×0.0200molL1

=2.000×103mol.

And this represents a mass of...............

=2.000×103mol×400.15gmol1=0.800g.

Note that this question has been poorly specified. When you say chromium nitrate nonahydrate I have ASSUMED that you mean the Cr(+III) hydrate, Cr(NO3)39H2O, whose formula mass is 400.15gmol1.
