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 |
