Answers
the molar mass of the HCL is 11.73 h/mol
The molar mass of HCl solution will be 36.5 g/mol
It has given that, 36g of HCl dissolves in 100g of solution, the density of HCl is 1.19 g/cm³.
we have to find the molar mass of the HCl solution.
solution :let molecular mass of HCl = M
given mass of HCl = 36g = mass of solute
mass of solution = 100g
density of solution = 1.19 g/cm³
so volume of solution = mass/density = 100/1.19 ≈ 84 cm³
molarity = no of moles of solute/volume of solution in Litre
= (36/M)/(84/1000)
= 36000/84M
here you forgot to write molarity of solution.
given, molarity = 11.74 molar
so, M = 360000/84 × 11.74 ≈ 36.5
therefore the molar mass of HCl is 36.5 g/mol
let's try to solve another method,
% percentage by weight of solute , % w/W = 36/100 × 100 = 36 %
density of solution, d = 1.19
molar mass of HCl = M
molarity of solution = 11.74 molar
we know, molarity = (% w/W × 10 × d)/M
