c. the density of this solution is 1.21 g/cm3. calculate the concentration in terms of molarity, molality, weight percent and ppm. assume that the volume of the solution is equal to the volume of the solvent. show your work.

Respuesta :

a. Concentration in terms of molarity

First, calculate for the molar mass of the given solution, C12H22O11.
    m = 12(12) + 22(1) + 11(16) = 232
Calculate for the number of moles.
   
    n = 8.45 g / 232 g/mol  = 0.036422 moles

Divide the determined number of moles by volume of solution in L.
    V(solution) = (250 mL)(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.25 L

The concentration in molarity is determined by dividing the number of moles by the volume of solution in liters.
          M = 0.03622 moles / 0.25 L = 0.146 moles/L

b. Concentration in terms of molality
Calculate the mass of the solvent in kilogram given the volume and its density.
              m(solvent) = (1.21 g/cm3)(250 mL)(1 kg/1000 g) = 0.3025 kg
Divide the calculated number of moles by the mass of the solvent in kilograms.

         molality = 0.036422 moles/0.3025 kg = 0.12 molal

c. Concentration in terms of weight percent.
The total weight of the solution is equal to 302.5 g.
    
           weight percent of solute = (8.45 g / 302.5 g)(100%) = 2.79%

d. Weight percent in ppm.
           weight percent of solute x (10000 ppm/1%) 
       = (2.79%)(10000 ppm/1%) = 27933.88 ppm

Answer : The molarity, molality, weight percent and ppm are, 0.0987 mole/L, 0.0839 mole/Kg, 2.79% and 27933.8843 respectively.

Solution : Given,

Mass of solute [tex](C_{12}H_{22}O_{11})[/tex] = 8.45 g

Molar mass of solute [tex](C_{12}H_{22}O_{11})[/tex] = 342.3 g/mole

Volume of solvent (water) = volume of solution = 250 ml

Density of solution = [tex]1.21g/cm^3=1.21g/ml[/tex]

Calculation for molarity

[tex]Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{volume of solution in ml}}[/tex]

[tex]Molarity=\frac{8.45g\times 1000}{342.3g/mole\times 250ml}=0.0987mole/L[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the mass of solution.

[tex]\text{Mass of solution}=Density\times Volume=1.21g/ml\times 250ml=302.5g[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the mass of solvent.

[tex]\text{Mass of solvent}=\text{Mass of solution}-\text{Mass of solute}=302.5-8.45=294.05g[/tex]

Calculation for molality

[tex]Molality=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent in g}}[/tex]

[tex]Molality=\frac{8.45g}\times 1000}{342.3g/mole\times 249.05g}=0.0839mole/Kg[/tex]

Calculation for weight percent

[tex]weight\%=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100=\frac{8.45g}{302.5g}\times 100=2.79\%[/tex]

Calculation for ppm

[tex]ppm=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^6=\frac{8.45g}{302.5g}\times 10^6=27933.8843[/tex]
