calculate the mass of urea (NH2CONH2) required in making 2.5 kilogram of 0.25 molal aqueous solution
Answers
Answer:
Given that.
Mass of solution = 2.5 Kg.
Molality = 0.25 m.
Molar mass of urea (NH2CONH2) =14 + 2 × 1 + 12 + 16 + 14 + 2 × 1 = 60 g mol−1.
Let mass of urea (NH2CONH2) = w gram.
Number of moles of urea = w / 60 = 0.01667 mol.
Mass of urea in Kg = w/1000 = 0.001w kg.
Answer:
Given
Mass of solution = 2.5 Kg
Molality = 0.25 m
Molar mass of urea (NH2CONH2) =(14 + 2 × 1 + 12 + 16 + 14 + 2 × 1) = 60 g mol−1
Mass of urea = Number of moles of urea × Molar mass of urea
Mass of 0.25 moles of urea = 0.25 mol × 60 g mol⁻¹ = 15 g
Mass of solution = 1000 g + 15 g = 1015 g
1015 g of aqueous solution contains urea = 15 g
∴ 2500 g of aqueous solution will require urea = 15 g / 1015 kg × 2500 g = 36.95 g = 37 g
Mass of urea required required in making 25 grams of 0.25m = 37 grams
