3.0 molal sodium hydroxide (naoh) solution has a density of 1.110g/ml. the molarity of this solution is
Answers
Answer:
Answer:
Molarity = 2.973 M
Steps:
Molality of the given NaOH soln: 3 molal
Density of the solution = 1.11 g/ml
According to Molality formula,
Hence 3 molal NaOH solution would contain 3 moles of NaOH in 1 kg of water.
Hence Mass of NaOH = No of moles of NaOH × Molar Mass of NaOH
Mass of NaOH = 3 × ( 23 + 16 + 1 ) ⇒ 3 × 40 = 120g
Hence Mass of Solution = Mass of NaOH + Mass of Water
→ Mass of Solution = 120g + 1000g = 1120g
Now we know that,
⇒ Density of Soln. = Mass of Soln. / Volume of Soln.
Hence, Volume of Soln. is given as:
⇒ Volume of Soln. = Mass of Soln. / Density
⇒ Volume of Soln. = 1120g / 1.11 g/ml
⇒ Volume of Soln. = 1009 ml (approx.)
Hence Molarity of the solution can be given as:
Substituting in the formula we get:
Hence the molarity of the solution is 2.973 M.
