The molality of $90\%$ ${H_2SO_4}$ solution is [density $= 1.8 \ g/mL$].
A
$1.8$
B
$48.4$
C
$9.18$
D
$94.6$

Solution

(C) Given: Density of solution $= 1.8 \ g/mL$,Percentage by mass $= 90\%$.
Consider $1 \ L$ $(1000 \ mL)$ of the solution.
Mass of solution $= \text{Density} \times \text{Volume} = 1.8 \ g/mL \times 1000 \ mL = 1800 \ g$.
Mass of ${H_2SO_4}$ solute $= 90\% \text{ of } 1800 \ g = \frac{90}{100} \times 1800 = 1620 \ g$.
Mass of solvent (water) $= 1800 \ g - 1620 \ g = 180 \ g$.
Molar mass of ${H_2SO_4} = (2 \times 1) + 32 + (4 \times 16) = 98 \ g/mol$.
$\text{Molality} (m) = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in } kg} = \frac{1620 / 98}{180 / 1000} = \frac{1620}{98} \times \frac{1000}{180} = 9.18 \ m$.

EasyMCQ
Calculate the molality of $1 \ L$ solution of $93 \ \%$ $H_2SO_4$ (weight/volume). The density of the solution is $1.84 \ g/mL$.
A
$14.05$
B
$20.36$
C
$12.05$
D
$10.43$

Solution

(D) Given: Volume of solution = $1 \ L = 1000 \ mL$.
Concentration = $93 \ \%$ (w/v) $H_2SO_4$,which means $93 \ g$ of $H_2SO_4$ is present in $100 \ mL$ of solution.
Therefore,mass of $H_2SO_4$ in $1000 \ mL$ = $930 \ g$.
Molar mass of $H_2SO_4$ = $98 \ g/mol$.
Moles of $H_2SO_4$ = $\frac{930}{98} \approx 9.49 \ mol$.
Mass of solution = $\text{Density} \times \text{Volume} = 1.84 \ g/mL \times 1000 \ mL = 1840 \ g$.
Mass of solvent (water) = $\text{Mass of solution} - \text{Mass of solute} = 1840 \ g - 930 \ g = 910 \ g = 0.91 \ kg$.
Molality $(m) = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{9.49}{0.91} \approx 10.43 \ m$.

EasyMCQ
An aqueous solution of glucose is $10\%$ in strength. The volume in which $1 \, \text{g-mole}$ of it is dissolved will be ........... $L$.
A
$18$
B
$9$
C
$0.9$
D
$1.8$

Solution

(D) $10\%$ aqueous solution of glucose means $10 \, g$ of glucose is present in $100 \, mL$ of solution.
The molar mass of glucose $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ is $180 \, g/mol$.
Number of moles in $100 \, mL$ solution = $\frac{10 \, g}{180 \, g/mol} = \frac{1}{18} \, mol$.
This means $\frac{1}{18} \, mol$ is present in $100 \, mL$ $(0.1 \, L)$.
Therefore,$1 \, mol$ of glucose will be present in volume = $\frac{0.1 \, L \times 1 \, mol}{1/18 \, mol} = 0.1 \times 18 = 1.8 \, L$.

EasyMCQ
The concentration of an aqueous solution of $0.01 \ M \ CH_3OH$ is very nearly equal to which of the following?
A
$0.01 \ \% \ CH_3OH$
B
$0.01 \ m \ CH_3OH$
C
$x_{CH_3OH} = 0.01$
D
$0.01 \ N \ CH_3OH$

Solution

(D) For a dilute aqueous solution,the density is approximately $1 \ g/mL$.
For methyl alcohol $(CH_3OH)$,the molarity $(M)$ is equal to the normality $(N)$ because the $n$-factor (valency factor) is $1$.
Therefore,$0.01 \ M \ CH_3OH$ is equal to $0.01 \ N \ CH_3OH$.

EasyMCQ
When $1.80 \ g$ of glucose is dissolved in $90 \ g$ of $H_2O$,the mole fraction of glucose is:
A
$0.00399$
B
$0.00199$
C
$0.0199$
D
$0.998$

Solution

(B) Step $1$: Calculate the number of moles of glucose $(n)$.
$n = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{1.80 \ g}{180 \ g/mol} = 0.01 \ mol$.
Step $2$: Calculate the number of moles of water $(N)$.
$N = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{90 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} = 5 \ mol$.
Step $3$: Calculate the mole fraction of glucose $(x_{glucose})$.
$x_{glucose} = \frac{n}{n + N} = \frac{0.01}{0.01 + 5} = \frac{0.01}{5.01} \approx 0.00199$.

EasyMCQ
In a solution of $7.8 \ g$ benzene $(C_6H_6)$ and $46.0 \ g$ toluene $(C_6H_5CH_3)$,the mole fraction of benzene in this solution is:
A
$1/6$
B
$1/5$
C
$1/2$
D
$1/3$

Solution

(A) Step $1$: Calculate the number of moles of benzene $(C_6H_6)$.
Molar mass of $C_6H_6 = (6 \times 12) + (6 \times 1) = 78 \ g/mol$.
Moles of $C_6H_6 = \frac{7.8 \ g}{78 \ g/mol} = 0.1 \ mol$.
Step $2$: Calculate the number of moles of toluene $(C_6H_5CH_3)$.
Molar mass of $C_6H_5CH_3 = (7 \times 12) + (8 \times 1) = 92 \ g/mol$.
Moles of $C_6H_5CH_3 = \frac{46.0 \ g}{92 \ g/mol} = 0.5 \ mol$.
Step $3$: Calculate the mole fraction of benzene $(X_{benzene})$.
$X_{benzene} = \frac{\text{moles of benzene}}{\text{moles of benzene} + \text{moles of toluene}} = \frac{0.1}{0.1 + 0.5} = \frac{0.1}{0.6} = \frac{1}{6}$.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ solution contains $25\%$ ${H_2}O$,$25\%$ ${C_2}{H_5}OH$ and $50\%$ ${CH_3}COOH$ by mass. The mole fraction of ${H_2}O$ would be
A
$0.25$
B
$2.5$
C
$0.502$
D
$5.03$

Solution

(C) Let the total mass of the solution be $100 \ g$.
Mass of ${H_2}O = 25 \ g$,Mass of ${C_2}{H_5}OH = 25 \ g$,and Mass of ${CH_3}COOH = 50 \ g$.
Moles of ${H_2}O = \frac{25 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} = 1.389 \ mol$.
Moles of ${C_2}{H_5}OH = \frac{25 \ g}{46 \ g/mol} = 0.543 \ mol$.
Moles of ${CH_3}COOH = \frac{50 \ g}{60 \ g/mol} = 0.833 \ mol$.
Total moles $= 1.389 + 0.543 + 0.833 = 2.765 \ mol$.
Mole fraction of ${H_2}O = \frac{\text{moles of } {H_2}O}{\text{total moles}} = \frac{1.389}{2.765} \approx 0.502$.

C
$18.92$
D
$20.08$

Solution

(C) Given:
Percentage by weight of $HCl$ = $49\%$
Specific gravity of solution = $1.41 \ g/mL$
Density of solution $(d)$ = $1.41 \ g/mL$
Mass of $1000 \ mL$ of solution = $1.41 \times 1000 = 1410 \ g$
Mass of $HCl$ solute in $1000 \ mL$ solution = $49\% \text{ of } 1410 \ g = 0.49 \times 1410 = 690.9 \ g$
Molar mass of $HCl$ = $1 + 35.5 = 36.5 \ g/mol$
Molarity $(M)$ = $\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute} \times \text{Volume of solution in } L}$
$M = \frac{690.9}{36.5 \times 1} = 18.929 \ M \approx 18.93 \ M$
Therefore,the molarity is approximately $18.92 \ M$.

D
$0.83$

Solution

(C) The formula for normality is $N = \frac{\text{mass of solute in } g \times 1000}{\text{Equivalent weight} \times \text{Volume of solution in } mL}$.
Given $10 \%$ (w/v) acetic acid means $10 \ g$ of acetic acid in $100 \ mL$ of solution.
The molar mass of acetic acid $(CH_3COOH)$ is $60 \ g/mol$.
Since the valency factor (n-factor) for acetic acid is $1$,the equivalent weight is equal to the molar mass,which is $60 \ g/eq$.
Substituting the values: $N = \frac{10 \times 1000}{60 \times 100} = \frac{100}{60} = 1.666... \ N$.
Rounding to one decimal place,we get $1.7 \ N$.

A
$0.028$
B
$0.163$
C
$1.27$
D
$1.47$

Solution

(D) $1$. Given: Density of solution $(d)$ $= 1.1 \ g/mL$,Mass percentage of $FeCl_3 = 20.0 \ \%$,Molar mass of $FeCl_3 = 162 \ g/mol$.
$2$. Consider $100 \ g$ of the solution.
$3$. Mass of $FeCl_3 = 20.0 \ g$.
$4$. Number of moles of $FeCl_3 = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{20.0 \ g}{162 \ g/mol} \approx 0.1235 \ mol$.
$5$. Volume of $100 \ g$ solution $= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{100 \ g}{1.1 \ g/mL} \approx 90.91 \ mL = 0.09091 \ L$.
$6$. Molarity $(M)$ $= \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution in } L} = \frac{0.1235 \ mol}{0.09091 \ L} \approx 1.358 \ M$.
$7$. Re-evaluating the calculation: $M = \frac{\% \times d \times 10}{M_w} = \frac{20.0 \times 1.1 \times 10}{162} = \frac{220}{162} \approx 1.358 \ M$.
$8$. Since the closest option provided is $1.36 \ M$ (approx),but given the options,there might be a slight discrepancy in the provided choices. However,calculating $1.36 \ M$ is the standard result. Given the options,$1.36 \ M$ is closest to $1.27 \ M$ or $1.47 \ M$. Re-checking the math: $220 / 162 = 1.358$. The correct value is $1.36 \ M$.

The mole fraction of solute $(x_2)$ is given by $\frac{n_2}{n_1 + n_2} = 0.2$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{X}{X + 12.82} = 0.2$.
$X = 0.2X + 2.564$.
$0.8X = 2.564$.
$X = \frac{2.564}{0.8} = 3.205 \approx 3.2$.

C
$4.90$
D
$9.8$

Solution

(B) The molarity $(M)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
$M = \frac{n}{V(L)} = \frac{W}{m.w.t. \times V(L)}$
Given: $M = 0.1 \ M$,$m.w.t. = 98 \ g/mol$,$V = 400 \ mL = 0.4 \ L$.
Rearranging the formula to solve for weight $(W)$:
$W = M \times m.w.t. \times V(L)$
$W = 0.1 \times 98 \times 0.4 = 3.92 \ g$.

The amount of $NaOH$ in $g$ in $250\,cm^3$ of a $0.100\,M\,NaOH$ solution would be ........... $g$.
A
$4$
B
$2$
C
$1$
D
$2.5$

Solution

(C) The molarity $(M)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
$M = \frac{w}{M_m \times V_{(L)}}$
Where $w$ is the mass of the solute in $g$,$M_m$ is the molar mass of $NaOH$ $(40\,g/mol)$,and $V_{(L)}$ is the volume of the solution in liters.
Given: $M = 0.100\,M$,$V = 250\,cm^3 = 0.250\,L$.
Substituting the values:
$0.100 = \frac{w}{40 \times 0.250}$
$w = 0.100 \times 40 \times 0.250 = 1\,g$.
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

$A$ molal solution is one that contains one mole of a solute in
A
$1000 \ g$ of the solvent
B
One litre of the solvent
C
One litre of the solution
D
$22.4 \ L$ of the solution

Solution

(A) The molality $(m)$ of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per kilogram $(1000 \ g)$ of the solvent.
Therefore,a molal solution contains one mole of solute in $1000 \ g$ of the solvent.

EasyMCQ
If $18 \ g$ of glucose $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ is present in $1000 \ g$ of an aqueous solution of glucose,it is said to be ......... $molal$.
A
$1$
B
$1.1$
C
$0.5$
D
$0.1$

Solution

(D) The molar mass of glucose $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ is $180 \ g/mol$.
Given mass of glucose = $18 \ g$.
Moles of glucose = $\frac{18 \ g}{180 \ g/mol} = 0.1 \ mol$.
Mass of solvent (water) = $1000 \ g - 18 \ g = 982 \ g = 0.982 \ kg$.
Molality $(m)$ = $\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{0.1 \ mol}{0.982 \ kg} \approx 0.1018 \ m$.
Since the question implies a standard approximation where the mass of the solvent is taken as $1000 \ g$ $(1 \ kg)$ for dilute solutions,the molality is $0.1 \ m$.

D
$1.5$

Solution

(C) The molarity $(M)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute $(n)$ per liter of solution ($V$ in $L$).
$M = \frac{n}{V(L)}$
Given: $M = 3 \ M$ and $V = 1000 \ mL = 1 \ L$.
Substituting the values: $3 = \frac{n}{1}$.
Therefore,$n = 3 \ mol$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ solution contains $1 \ mole$ of water and $4 \ mole$ of ethanol. The mole fraction of water and ethanol will be
A
$0.2$ water + $0.8$ ethanol
B
$0.4$ water + $0.6$ ethanol
C
$0.6$ water + $0.8$ ethanol
D
$0.8$ water + $0.2$ ethanol

Solution

(A) Given: $n_{\text{water}} = 1 \ mole$,$n_{\text{ethanol}} = 4 \ mole$.
Total moles $= 1 + 4 = 5 \ moles$.
Mole fraction of water $(X_{\text{water}}) = \frac{n_{\text{water}}}{n_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2$.
Mole fraction of ethanol $(X_{\text{ethanol}}) = \frac{n_{\text{ethanol}}}{n_{\text{total}}} = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8$.
Thus,the mole fraction of water is $0.2$ and ethanol is $0.8$.

EasyMCQ
Which of the following concentration terms does not change with a change in temperature?
A
Mole fraction
B
Normality
C
Molality
D
Both $(a)$ and $(c)$

Solution

(D) Concentration terms that involve volume are temperature-dependent because volume changes with temperature.
$1$. Molality $(m)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent: $m = \frac{n_{\text{solute}}}{W_{\text{solvent}} \text{ (in kg)}}$. Since mass $(W)$ is independent of temperature,molality is temperature-independent.
$2$. Mole fraction $(x)$ is the ratio of the number of moles of one component to the total number of moles in the solution: $x_A = \frac{n_A}{n_A + n_B}$. Since the number of moles is independent of temperature,the mole fraction is temperature-independent.
$3$. Normality $(N)$ involves volume of solution $(V)$,which changes with temperature.
Therefore,both mole fraction and molality are independent of temperature.

How many grams of $CH_3OH$ should be added to water to prepare $150 \ mL$ solution of $2 \ M \ CH_3OH$?
A
$9.6$
B
$2.4$
C
$9.6 \times 10^3$
D
$2.4 \times 10^3$

Solution

(A) The molarity $(M)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
$M = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution in } L}$.
Given: $M = 2 \ M$,Volume $(V)$ = $150 \ mL = 0.150 \ L$.
Moles of $CH_3OH = M \times V = 2 \ mol/L \times 0.150 \ L = 0.3 \ mol$.
Molar mass of $CH_3OH = (12 + 4 \times 1 + 16) = 32 \ g/mol$.
Mass of $CH_3OH = \text{moles} \times \text{molar mass} = 0.3 \ mol \times 32 \ g/mol = 9.6 \ g$.

A
$Normality \times \text{Molecular weight} = Molarity \times \text{Equivalent weight}$
B
$Normality \times \text{Equivalent weight} = Molarity \times \text{Molecular weight}$
C
$Molality \times \text{Molecular weight} = Normality \times \text{Molecular weight}$
D
$Molality \times \text{Equivalent weight} = Normality \times \text{Equivalent weight}$

Solution

(B) $Normality = \frac{\text{Weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight} \times \text{Volume in L}}$
$Normality \times \text{Equivalent weight} \times \text{Volume} = \text{Weight} \dots (1)$
$Molarity = \frac{\text{Weight}}{\text{Molecular weight} \times \text{Volume in L}}$
$Molarity \times \text{Molecular weight} \times \text{Volume} = \text{Weight} \dots (2)$
Comparing equations $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$Normality \times \text{Equivalent weight} = Molarity \times \text{Molecular weight}$

If a $3.6 \, M$ solution of $H_2SO_4$ contains $29 \% \, H_2SO_4$ by mass,find the density of the $H_2SO_4$ solution. (Molar mass of $H_2SO_4 = 98 \, g \, mol^{-1}$)
A
$1.64 \, g \, mL^{-1}$
B
$1.88 \, g \, mL^{-1}$
C
$1.22 \, g \, mL^{-1}$
D
$1.45 \, g \, mL^{-1}$

Solution

(C) Molarity $(M)$ is given by the formula: $M = \frac{\text{mass percentage} \times \text{density} \times 10}{\text{Molar mass}}$.
Given: $M = 3.6 \, mol \, L^{-1}$,$\text{mass percentage} = 29 \%$,$\text{Molar mass} = 98 \, g \, mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $3.6 = \frac{29 \times d \times 10}{98}$.
$d = \frac{3.6 \times 98}{290} = \frac{352.8}{290} \approx 1.216 \, g \, mL^{-1}$.
Rounding to two decimal places,the density is $1.22 \, g \, mL^{-1}$.

How many moles and grams of sodium chloride are present in $200 \ cm^3$ of $0.2 \ M \ NaCl$ solution?
A
$0.01, 2.15 \ g$
B
$0.05, 2.50 \ g$
C
$0.04, 2.34 \ g$
D
$0.07, 2.75 \ g$

Solution

(C) Given: Volume of solution $V = 200 \ cm^3 = 0.2 \ L$,Molarity $M = 0.2 \ M$.
Formula: $\text{Molarity} = \frac{\text{Number of moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in Liters}}$.
Number of moles of $NaCl = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume in Liters} = 0.2 \ M \times 0.2 \ L = 0.04 \ \text{moles}$.
Molar mass of $NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 \ g/mol$.
Mass of $NaCl = \text{Number of moles} \times \text{Molar mass} = 0.04 \ \text{mol} \times 58.5 \ g/mol = 2.34 \ g$.

If the density of a $2.05 \ M$ $CH_3COOH$ solution is $1.02 \ g/mL$,what is the molality of the solution?
A
$2.88$
B
$0.44$
C
$2.28$
D
$1.28$

Solution

(C) Molarity $(M)$ = $2.05 \ mol/L$. This means $2.05 \ moles$ of $CH_3COOH$ are present in $1000 \ mL$ of solution.
Molar mass of $CH_3COOH$ = $60 \ g/mol$.
Mass of solute $(CH_3COOH)$ = $2.05 \ mol \times 60 \ g/mol = 123 \ g$.
Mass of solution = Density $\times$ Volume = $1.02 \ g/mL \times 1000 \ mL = 1020 \ g$.
Mass of solvent (water) = Mass of solution - Mass of solute = $1020 \ g - 123 \ g = 897 \ g = 0.897 \ kg$.
Molality $(m)$ = $\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{2.05 \ mol}{0.897 \ kg} \approx 2.28 \ m$.

The volume of the solution is $250 \ mL = 0.25 \ L$.
Molarity $(M)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution: $M = \frac{n}{V(L)} = \frac{0.375 \ mol}{0.25 \ L} = 1.5 \ M$.

Given: $M_1 = 1.5 \, M$,$V_1 = 480 \, mL$,$M_2 = 1.2 \, M$,$V_2 = 520 \, mL$.
Substituting the values: $\bar{M} = \frac{(1.5 \times 480) + (1.2 \times 520)}{480 + 520}$.
$\bar{M} = \frac{720 + 624}{1000} = \frac{1344}{1000} = 1.344 \, M$.

If the density of a $1 \, m$ aqueous solution of $NaCl$ is $1.21 \, g/mL$,then the molarity of the solution is .......... (in $, M$)
A
$4.15$
B
$1.143$
C
$2.95$
D
$3.15$

Solution

(B) $1 \, m$ $NaCl$ solution means $1 \, mol$ $(58.5 \, g)$ of $NaCl$ is dissolved in $1000 \, g$ of water.
Total mass of the solution = $1000 \, g + 58.5 \, g = 1058.5 \, g$.
Density of the solution = $\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$.
$1.21 \, g/mL = \frac{1058.5 \, g}{\text{Volume}}$.
Volume = $\frac{1058.5}{1.21} \approx 874.79 \, mL = 0.8748 \, L$.
Molarity $(M)$ = $\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution in liters}} = \frac{1 \, mol}{0.8748 \, L} \approx 1.143 \, M$.
