the density of 3 molal solution of NAOH is 1.11 g/mL .calculate the molarity of the solution
Answers
A 3 molal solution is prepared by dissolving 3 moles (40 x 3 = 120g) of NaOH in 1000g 0f water.
Total mass of such solution containing 3 moles of the solute = 1000 +120 = 1120g
Density of this solution = 1.110g/ml
Density = mass/volume
Total volume of this solution = 1120/1.110 = 1009mL = 1.009L
Thus, 3 moles of NaOH are present in 1.009L of the solution.
So, no of moles present in 1L of the solution = 3 x 1/1.009 = 2.973

Find Molarity , given Molality.
Molality = b = 3
mass density of Sodium Hydroxide solution = ρ = 1.110 gm/ml
ρ = 1.110 kg/Litre
M = Molar mass of Sodium Hydroxide NaOH = 40 = (23+16+1)
= 40 gm/mole = 0.040 kg/mole
Molarity = c = ??
Formula for calculating Molarity given Molality:
c = ρ * b / [1 + b M ]
= 1.110 kg/L * 3 mole/kg / [ 1 + 3 mole/kg * 0.040 kg/mole ]
= 3.330 /(1.12)
= 2.97 Molar
