calculate the molarity of solution when 1.23 gram sodium hydroxide dissolved in water to make 100cm³ of solution?
Answers
Explanation:
Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.
Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}Molarity=Vsn×1000
where,
n = moles of solute
V_sVs = volume of solution in ml = 100cm^3=100ml100cm3=100ml1cm63=1ml1cm63=1ml
moles of solute =\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{2.46g}{40g/mol}=0.062molesmolar massgiven mass=40g/mol2.46g=0.062moles
Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get
Molality=\frac{0.062\times 1000}{100ml}=0.62mole/LMolality=100ml0.062×1000=0.62mole/L
Therefore, the molarity of solution is 0.62 M
GIVEN:
- Mass of solute = 1.23g
- Volume of solution =100cm³=100×10^-3 L = 0.1 L
TO FIND:
- Molarity
SOLUTION
moles of solute
= mass of solute/molar mass
= 1.23/40
= 0.03 moles
Molarity
= moles of solute/ volume of soln (L)
=0.03/0.1
=0.3
Molarity = 0.3 M
