A solution of H2SO4 (90.08 g/mol) has 785.6 g of H2SO4 and 359 g of H2O. What is the molal concentration (molality)?

Respuesta :

The molality of H₂SO₄ solution is 24.2 m.

Explanation:

We need to find the molality of sulfuric acid.

Mass of sulfuric acid = 785.6 g

Mass of water = 359 g

We have to find the moles of H₂SO₄ by using its mass and molar mass as,

Moles of H₂SO₄ = [tex]$\frac{785.6g}{90.08 g/mol}[/tex]

                         = 8.7 moles

Mass of the solution in kg =[tex]$\frac{359}{1000}[/tex] =  0.359 kg

Molality = [tex]$\frac{moles}{solvent (kg)}[/tex]

           = [tex]$\frac{8.7 mol }{0.359 kg}\\[/tex]

          = 24.2 m

So molality of the H₂SO₄ solution is 24.2 m.
