A solution of glucose in water is labelled as 10% w/w, what would be the molality and molefraction of each component in the solution ? If the density of the solution is 1.2 g mL^(-1) , thenwhat shall be the molarity of the solution ?

Answer»

Solution :10% w/w means 10 g glucose is PRESENT in 100 g solution,
Mass of water = 100 – 10 = 90 g = 0.09 kg 10
10 g glucose = 10/180 mol = 0.0555 mol
Number of moles in 90 g`H_2O = 90/18 = 5` moles
Molality of solution =0.0555 mol / 0.090 kg= 0.617 m
Mole fraction of glucose `= (0.0555)/(5 + 0.0555) = 0.01`
mole of fraction of `H_2O = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99`
Volume of 100 g solution = 100/1.2 mL = 83.33 mL = 0.08333 L
` THEREFORE ` molarity `= (0.0555)/(0.08333L) = 0.67 M`
