A commercially available sample of sulphuric acid is 15 percent H2SO4 by weight Density 1.10g/ml. Calculate molality of the solution??
Molarity =
15% of H2SO4 means 15 gm in 85 gm of solvent i.e. water
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
mass of H2SO4 = 98 g/mol
Therefore, Number of moles of H2SO4 = 15/98
= 0.15 moles
Density of solution = Mass/Volume
Mass of solution = 100 gm
Density of solution = 1.10 g/mL
Volume = Mass/Density
= 100/1.10
= 90.9 mL
So,
Molarity(M) =
= 1500/909
= 1.68 Molar (or just M)
Now,
Molality(m) =
=
= 150/85
Molality(m) = 1.7 molal (or just m)
Hope this information clears your doubts about the topic.
Keep asking!!
