The density of a 2.03 M solution os acetic acid (molecular mass=60) in water is 1.790 g/mL. Calculate the molality of the solution. |
Answer» Correct Answer - 2.267 M `"Strenght of the solution"="Molarity"xx"Molar mass"` `=(2.03"mol L"^(-1))xx(60 " g mol"^(-1))=121.8 gl^(-1)` `"Density of the solution"=1.017" g mL"^(-1)` `"Mass of one litre of the solution"=(1000 mL)xx(1.017" g mL"^(-1))=0.17g` `"Mass of water in the solution"=1017-121.8=895.2g` `"Molality (m)"=("No. of moles of acetic acetic acid")/("Mass of solvent in kg")` `=((2.03mol))/((895.2//1000kg))=2.267" mol kg"^(-1)=2.267 m.` |
