Chemistry Question on Mole concept and Molar Masses

The molarity of 98% H2SO4H_2SO_4 (d = 1.8 g/mL) by weight is

A

6 M

B

18 M

C

10 M

D

4 M

Answer

18 M

Explanation

Solution

Molar mass of H2SO4 = 98g/mol = Mm

D =density = 1.84g/mL

W/w = 98%

V = 1dm3 = 1L = 1000ml

Mass of solution = V x D

M = 1000 x 1.84 = 1840g per 1000mL

Using w/w, 98% of 1840g = H2SO4

= (98/100) x 1840 = 1803.2g = m

Nos of moles = m/Mm = 1803.2/98 = 18.4moles per 1000mL

Thus, molarity = 18.4M

The amount of moles of solute present in a litre of solution is known as molarity.

  • By dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution, molarity is determined.
  • The letter 'M' stands for it.
  • Additionally known as Molar Concentration.
  • Molarity is expressed in terms of M, mol, or mol/L.
  • The unit symbol for molarity in the SI system is mol/L or mol/dm3.

Molarity Formula is given as follows:

M = n/V

Where

M = Molarity of a particular solution

n = Number of moles of the solute

V = Volume of the solution

It can also be understood as

Molarity = Number of moles of the solute/Volume of solution in liters.
