To calculate the concentration of the zinc nitrate solution, we first need to convert the given amount of zinc nitrate in micromoles to moles:

3.8 x 10^2 umol = 3.8 x 10^-4 mol

Next, we need to calculate the volume of the solution in liters by converting the volume of the volumetric flask from milliliters to liters:

350 ml = 0.350 L

Finally, we can calculate the concentration of the zinc nitrate solution by dividing the moles of zinc nitrate by the volume of the solution:

Concentration = 3.8 x 10^-4 mol / 0.350 L = 1.09 x 10^-3 mol/L

Therefore, the concentration of the chemist's zinc nitrate solution is 1.09 x 10^-3 mol/L.
