A sugar syrup of weight 214.2 g contains 34.2gofsugar(C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)).Calculate(i)molal concentration (ii) mole fraction of sugar in the syrup.

Answer»

Solution :Weight of sugar syrup = 214.2 g
Weight of sugar present = 34.2 g
MOLECULAR mass of sugar `(C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)) = 342`
(i) CALCULATION of molality :
Number of moles of sugar = `34.2/342 = 0.1`
Weight of water `=214.2 - 34.2 = 180 g = 0.18 g`
`therefore` Molecular of the solution `=("No. of moles of sugar")/("Weight of water in kg")`
`=0.1/0.18 = 0.56 MOL kg^(-1)`
Hence, the MOLAL concentration of the given solution is 0.56 m.
(ii) Calculation of mole fraction :
Number of moles of sugar `(n_(1))=0.1`
Number of moles of water `(n_(2)) = 180/18 = 10`
Total number of moles in solution `=n_(1) + n_(2) = 0.1 + 10 = 10.1`
`therefore` The mole fraction of sugar `=n_(1)/(n_(1)+ n_(2)) = 0.1/10.1 = 9.9 xx 10^(-3)`
