A sample of 12 M Concentrated hydrochloric acid has a density 1.2g L-1 . Calculate the molality.

Answer»

Given: 

Molarity = 12 M HCI 

Density of the solution = 1.2 g L-1 

In 12 M HCl solution, there are 12 moles of HCl in 1 litre of the solution.

Molality = (No. of moles of solute) / (Mass of solvent(in Kg.))

Calculate mass of water (solvent) 

Mass of 1 liter HCI solution = density x volume 

= 1.2g mL-1 x 1000 mL 

= 1200g

Mass of HCI = (No. of moles of HCI) x (molar mass of HCI) 

= 12 mol x 36.5 g mol-1 

= 438g

Mass of waler = (mass of HCI solution) – (mass of HCI) 

= 1200 – 438 

= 762 g

Molalily = 12/0.762 = 15.75 m
