Solution

To calculate the concentration of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) in mol L-1, follow these steps:

  1. Understand that a 4% w/v solution means that there are 4g of MgCl2 in 100mL of solution.

  2. Convert the volume of the solution from mL to L: 100mL = 0.1L.

  3. Calculate the number of moles of MgCl2 in the solution using the molar mass. The number of moles = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol). So, the number of moles = 4g / 95.21g/mol = 0.042 mol.

  4. Finally, calculate the concentration of the solution in mol/L. Concentration = moles / volume (L). So, the concentration = 0.042 mol / 0.1L = 0.420 mol L-1.

So, the correct answer is 0.420 mol L-1.
