The molality of a $10\%\ (v/v)$ solution of di-bromine in $CCl_4$ (carbon tetrachloride) is $x$. $x = ...... \times 10^{-2}\ m$. (Nearest integer)
[Given : molar mass of $Br_2 = 160\ g\ mol^{-1}$
atomic mass of $C = 12\ g\ mol^{-1}$
atomic mass of $Cl = 35.5\ g\ mol^{-1}$
density of dibromine $= 3.2\ g\ cm^{-3}$
density of $CCl_4 = 1.6\ g\ cm^{-3}$]
A
$138$
B
$139$
C
$137$
D
$136$

Solution

(B) $10\%\ (v/v)$ solution means $10\ mL$ of solute $(Br_2)$ is present in $100\ mL$ of total solution.
Therefore,the volume of solvent $(CCl_4)$ $= 100\ mL - 10\ mL = 90\ mL$.
Mass of solute $(Br_2)$ $= \text{Volume} \times \text{Density} = 10\ mL \times 3.2\ g\ cm^{-3} = 32\ g$.
Mass of solvent $(CCl_4)$ $= \text{Volume} \times \text{Density} = 90\ mL \times 1.6\ g\ cm^{-3} = 144\ g = 0.144\ kg$.
Moles of solute $(Br_2)$ $= \frac{32\ g}{160\ g\ mol^{-1}} = 0.2\ mol$.
Molality $(m)$ $= \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{0.2}{0.144} \approx 1.3888\ m$.
Expressing as $x \times 10^{-2}\ m$,we get $138.88 \times 10^{-2}\ m$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,$x = 139$.

A
$35$
B
$34$
C
$33$
D
$36$

Solution

(D) Mass of sugar in the first solution $= 200 \ g \times 0.25 = 50 \ g$.
Mass of sugar in the second solution $= 500 \ g \times 0.40 = 200 \ g$.
Total mass of sugar $= 50 \ g + 200 \ g = 250 \ g$.
Total mass of the resulting solution $= 200 \ g + 500 \ g = 700 \ g$.
Mass percentage of the resulting sugar solution $= (\frac{250 \ g}{700 \ g}) \times 100 \approx 35.71 \%$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,we get $36 \%$.

$A$ solution is prepared by adding $2 \ g$ of $X$ to $1 \ mole$ of water. Mass percent of $X$ in the solution is $............. \ \%$
A
$20$
B
$5$
C
$2$
D
$10$

Solution

(D) Mass of solute $(X) = 2 \ g$
Mass of solvent $(H_2O) = 1 \ mole = 18 \ g$
Total mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent = $2 \ g + 18 \ g = 20 \ g$
Mass percent of $X = \frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Total mass of solution}} \times 100$
Mass percent of $X = \frac{2 \ g}{20 \ g} \times 100 = 10 \ \%$

MediumMCQ
The quantity which changes with temperature is:
A
Molarity
B
Mass percentage
C
Molality
D
Mole fraction

Solution

(A) $Molarity = \frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (L)}}$
Since the volume of a solution is temperature-dependent,the molarity of the solution changes with a change in temperature.
Other concentration terms like molality,mass percentage,and mole fraction involve mass,which is independent of temperature.

MediumMCQ
Molality of $0.8 \ M \ H_2SO_4$ solution (density $1.06 \ g \ cm^{-3}$) is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-3} \ m$.
A
$814$
B
$817$
C
$816$
D
$815$

Solution

(D) Given: Molarity $(M)$ = $0.8 \ M$,Density $(d)$ = $1.06 \ g \ cm^{-3}$,Molar mass of $H_2SO_4$ $(M_2)$ = $98 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Formula for molality $(m)$: $m = \frac{M \times 1000}{d \times 1000 - M \times M_2}$.
Substituting the values: $m = \frac{0.8 \times 1000}{1.06 \times 1000 - 0.8 \times 98}$.
$m = \frac{800}{1060 - 78.4} = \frac{800}{981.6} \approx 0.81499 \ m$.
Converting to $\times 10^{-3} \ m$: $0.81499 \times 10^3 \times 10^{-3} \ m \approx 815 \times 10^{-3} \ m$.

MediumMCQ
The density of '$x$' $M$ solution ('$x$' molar) of $NaOH$ is $1.12 \ g \ mL^{-1}$. While in molality,the concentration of the solution is $3 \ m$ $(3 \ molal)$. Then '$x$' is.
(Given: Molar mass of $NaOH$ is $40 \ g \ mol^{-1}$)
A
$3.5$
B
$3.0$
C
$3.8$
D
$2.8$

Solution

(B) The relationship between molality $(m)$ and molarity $(M)$ is given by the formula:
$m = \frac{1000 \times M}{(1000 \times d) - (M \times Mw_{\text{solute}})}$
Given:
$m = 3 \ molal$
$d = 1.12 \ g \ mL^{-1}$
$Mw_{\text{solute}} = 40 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
$M = x$
Substituting the values into the formula:
$3 = \frac{1000 \times x}{(1000 \times 1.12) - (x \times 40)}$
$3 = \frac{1000x}{1120 - 40x}$
$3(1120 - 40x) = 1000x$
$3360 - 120x = 1000x$
$3360 = 1120x$
$x = \frac{3360}{1120} = 3$
Therefore,the value of '$x$' is $3$.

MediumMCQ
Molality $(m)$ of $3 \text{ M}$ aqueous solution of $NaCl$ is:
(Given: Density of solution = $1.25 \text{ g mL}^{-1}$, Molar mass in $\text{g mol}^{-1}$: $Na = 23$, $Cl = 35.5$) (in $\text{m}$)
A
$2.90$
B
$2.79$
C
$1.90$
D
$3.85$

Solution

(B) $3 \text{ M}$ solution means $3 \text{ moles}$ of $NaCl$ are present in $1 \text{ L}$ $(1000 \text{ mL})$ of solution.
Mass of solution = $\text{Volume} \times \text{Density} = 1000 \text{ mL} \times 1.25 \text{ g mL}^{-1} = 1250 \text{ g}$.
Mass of solute $(NaCl)$ = $3 \text{ mol} \times 58.5 \text{ g mol}^{-1} = 175.5 \text{ g}$.
Mass of solvent = $\text{Mass of solution} - \text{Mass of solute} = 1250 \text{ g} - 175.5 \text{ g} = 1074.5 \text{ g} = 1.0745 \text{ kg}$.
Molality $(m)$ = $\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{3}{1.0745} = 2.79 \text{ m}$.
Alternatively, using the formula:
$m = \frac{M \times 1000}{1000 \times d - M \times M_B}$
$m = \frac{3 \times 1000}{1000 \times 1.25 - 3 \times 58.5} = 2.79 \text{ m}$.

MediumMCQ
Molality of an aqueous solution of urea is $4.44 \ m$. Mole fraction of urea in solution is $x \times 10^{-5}$. Value of $x$ is. . . . . . (integer answer)
A
$70$
B
$73$
C
$74$
D
$80$

Solution

(C) Molality $(m)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Given $m = 4.44 \ m$,this means $4.44 \ mol$ of urea is dissolved in $1000 \ g$ $(1 \ kg)$ of water.
Moles of water $(n_{water})$ = $\frac{1000 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} \approx 55.56 \ mol$.
Mole fraction of urea $(X_{urea})$ = $\frac{n_{urea}}{n_{urea} + n_{water}} = \frac{4.44}{4.44 + 55.56} = \frac{4.44}{60} = 0.074$.
We are given $X_{urea} = x \times 10^{-5}$.
$0.074 = 7400 \times 10^{-5}$.
Therefore,$x = 7400$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ solution is prepared by adding $1 \ mole$ of ethyl alcohol in $9 \ mole$ of water. The mass percent of solute in the solution is. . . . . . . (Integer Answer)
(Given : Molar mass in $g \ mol^{-1}$ Ethyl alcohol : $46$,
water : $18$)
A
$20$
B
$22$
C
$30$
D
$35$

Solution

(B) Mass of solute (ethyl alcohol) $= 1 \ mole \times 46 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 46 \ g$.
Mass of solvent (water) $= 9 \ mole \times 18 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 162 \ g$.
Total mass of solution $= 46 \ g + 162 \ g = 208 \ g$.
Mass percent of solute $= \frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Total mass of solution}} \times 100$.
Mass percent $= \frac{46}{208} \times 100 = \frac{4600}{208} \approx 22.11 \%$.
The integer value is $22$.

Molarity $(M)$ of an aqueous solution containing $x \ g$ of anhydrous $CuSO_4$ in $500 \ mL$ solution at $32^{\circ} C$ is $2 \times 10^{-1} \ M$. Its molality will be. . . . . .$\times 10^{-3} \ m$ (nearest integer). [Given density of the solution $= 1.25 \ g/mL$.]
A
$160$
B
$164$
C
$167$
D
$168$

Solution

(B) Given: Molarity $(M) = 0.2 \ M$,Volume $(V) = 500 \ mL = 0.5 \ L$,Density $(d) = 1.25 \ g/mL$,Molar mass of $CuSO_4 = 159.5 \ g/mol$.
Step $1$: Calculate moles of solute $(n)$:
$n = M \times V = 0.2 \times 0.5 = 0.1 \ mol$.
Step $2$: Calculate mass of solute $(x)$:
$x = n \times \text{Molar mass} = 0.1 \times 159.5 = 15.95 \ g$.
Step $3$: Calculate mass of solution:
$Mass_{soln} = V \times d = 500 \times 1.25 = 625 \ g$.
Step $4$: Calculate mass of solvent $(W_{solvent})$:
$W_{solvent} = Mass_{soln} - x = 625 - 15.95 = 609.05 \ g$.
Step $5$: Calculate molality $(m)$:
$m = \frac{n \times 1000}{W_{solvent} (in \ g)} = \frac{0.1 \times 1000}{609.05} \approx 0.16418 \ m$.
$m \approx 164 \times 10^{-3} \ m$.

MediumMCQ
The mole fraction of a solute in a solution is $0.1$. At $298 \ K$,molarity of the solution is the same as its molality. The density of this solution at $298 \ K$ is $2.0 \ g \ cm^{-3}$. The ratio of the molecular weights of the solute and solvent,$\left(\frac{MW_{solute}}{MW_{solvent}}\right)$,is
A
$7$
B
$9$
C
$5$
D
$4$

Solution

(B) Let the molecular weight of the solute be $M_1$ and the solvent be $M_2$.
Given mole fraction of solute $X_1 = 0.1$,so mole fraction of solvent $X_2 = 0.9$.
For a solution,the relation between molarity $(M)$ and molality $(m)$ is given by $m = \frac{1000M}{1000d - MM_1}$,where $d$ is the density in $g \ cm^{-3}$.
Since $M = m$,we have $1 = \frac{1000}{1000d - MM_1}$.
$1000d - MM_1 = 1000$ $\Rightarrow 1000(2) - MM_1 = 1000$ $\Rightarrow MM_1 = 1000$.
Since $M = \frac{n_1}{V(L)}$,and $n_1 = \frac{mass}{M_1}$,we have $M = \frac{mass}{M_1 \times V(L)}$.
Given $d = \frac{mass}{V} = 2000 \ g \ L^{-1}$,so $mass = 2000 \times V$.
$M = \frac{2000 \times V \times w_1}{M_1 \times V} = \frac{2000 w_1}{M_1}$ where $w_1$ is the mass fraction of solute.
Using $X_1 = \frac{n_1}{n_1 + n_2} = 0.1$,we get $n_2 = 9n_1$.
$\frac{mass_2}{M_2} = 9 \times \frac{mass_1}{M_1} \Rightarrow \frac{mass_2}{mass_1} = 9 \times \frac{M_2}{M_1}$.
Since $M = m$,the mass of solvent is $1000 \ g$.
From $MM_1 = 1000$,we find $n_1 = 1 \ mol$.
Thus,$n_2 = 9 \ mol$.
Mass of solvent $= 9 \times M_2 = 1000 \ g \Rightarrow M_2 = \frac{1000}{9}$.
Mass of solute $= 1 \times M_1 = 1000 - (2000 - 1000) = 1000 \ g$ is incorrect; using $X_1 = 0.1$,$\frac{M_1}{M_2} = \frac{X_1}{X_2} \times \frac{n_2}{n_1} = \frac{0.1}{0.9} \times 9 = 1$ is wrong.
Correct approach: $\frac{M_1}{M_2} = \frac{X_1}{X_2} \times \frac{n_2}{n_1}$. With $M=m$,$d = 1 + \frac{M M_1}{1000} = 2$. $M M_1 = 1000$. $n_1 = M \times 1 = 1000/M_1$. $n_2 = (2000 - 1000)/M_2 = 1000/M_2$. $X_1 = \frac{1000/M_1}{1000/M_1 + 1000/M_2} = 0.1$ $\Rightarrow \frac{M_2}{M_1+M_2} = 0.1$ $\Rightarrow M_2 = 0.1M_1 + 0.1M_2$ $\Rightarrow 0.9M_2 = 0.1M_1$ $\Rightarrow \frac{M_1}{M_2} = 9$.

Dissolving $120 \ g$ of urea (mol. wt. $60$) in $1000 \ g$ of water gave a solution of density $1.15 \ g / mL$. The molarity of the solution is (in $M$)
A
$1.78$
B
$2.00$
C
$2.05$
D
$2.22$

Solution

(C) Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in per litre of solution.
Molarity,$M = \frac{n}{V}$
$n =$ number of moles of solute = mass $/$ molar mass
$V =$ volume of solution
Mass of urea = $120 \ g$
Molar mass of urea = $60 \ g / mol$
Mass of water = $1000 \ g$
Density of solution,$\rho = 1.15 \ g / mL$
$n = \frac{120}{60} = 2 \ mol$
Total mass of solution = $m_{solute} + m_{solvent} = 120 \ g + 1000 \ g = 1120 \ g$
Volume of solution,$V = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{1120 \ g}{1.15 \ g / mL} \approx 973.91 \ mL = 0.97391 \ L$
Molarity,$M = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{2 \ mol}{0.97391 \ L} \approx 2.05 \ M$
Hence,the correct option is $C$.

The mole fraction of urea in an aqueous urea solution containing $900 \text{ g}$ of water is $0.05$. If the density of the solution is $1.2 \text{ g cm}^{-3}$,the molarity of the urea solution is . . . . . (Given data: Molar masses of urea and water are $60 \text{ g mol}^{-1}$ and $18 \text{ g mol}^{-1}$,respectively)
A
$2.50$
B
$2.55$
C
$2.60$
D
$2.98$

Solution

(D) Moles of water $(n_{H_2O})$ = $\frac{900}{18} = 50 \text{ mol}$.
Mole fraction of urea $(x_{urea})$ = $0.05$.
Using the formula $x_{urea} = \frac{n_{urea}}{n_{urea} + n_{H_2O}}$:
$0.05 = \frac{n_{urea}}{n_{urea} + 50}$.
$0.05n_{urea} + 2.5 = n_{urea} \implies 0.95n_{urea} = 2.5 \implies n_{urea} = \frac{2.5}{0.95} \approx 2.6316 \text{ mol}$.
Mass of urea = $2.6316 \text{ mol} \times 60 \text{ g mol}^{-1} = 157.896 \text{ g}$.
Total mass of solution = $157.896 \text{ g} + 900 \text{ g} = 1057.896 \text{ g}$.
Volume of solution $(V)$ = $\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}} = \frac{1057.896 \text{ g}}{1.2 \text{ g cm}^{-3}} = 881.58 \text{ mL} = 0.88158 \text{ L}$.
Molarity $(M)$ = $\frac{n_{urea}}{V(L)} = \frac{2.6316}{0.88158} \approx 2.98 \text{ M}$.

$A$ compound $H_2X$ with molar weight of $80 \ g \ mol^{-1}$ is dissolved in a solvent having density of $0.4 \ g \ mL^{-1}$. Assuming no change in volume upon dissolution,the molality of a $3.2 \ M$ solution is:
A
$6$
B
$7$
C
$8$
D
$9$

Solution

(C) Given: Molarity $(M)$ = $3.2 \ mol \ L^{-1}$.
Consider $1 \ L$ of the solution.
Number of moles of solute $(n)$ = $3.2 \ mol$.
Mass of solute = $n \times \text{Molar mass} = 3.2 \ mol \times 80 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 256 \ g$.
Mass of solution = $\text{Density of solution} \times \text{Volume}$. Since the density of the solvent is $0.4 \ g \ mL^{-1}$ and we assume no volume change,we consider the solvent volume as $1 \ L$ $(1000 \ mL)$.
Mass of solvent = $\text{Density} \times \text{Volume} = 0.4 \ g \ mL^{-1} \times 1000 \ mL = 400 \ g = 0.4 \ kg$.
Molality $(m)$ = $\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{3.2 \ mol}{0.4 \ kg} = 8 \ m$.

Density of $3 \ M$ $NaCl$ solution is $1.25 \ g/mL$. The molality of the solution is : (in $m$)
A
$1.79$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$2.79$

Solution

(D) Given: Molarity $(M)$ = $3 \ M$,Density $(d)$ = $1.25 \ g/mL$,Molar mass of $NaCl$ $(M_w)$ = $58.5 \ g/mol$.
The formula for molality $(m)$ is: $m = \frac{M \times 1000}{1000 \times d - M \times M_w}$.
Substituting the values: $m = \frac{3 \times 1000}{1000 \times 1.25 - 3 \times 58.5}$.
$m = \frac{3000}{1250 - 175.5}$.
$m = \frac{3000}{1074.5} \approx 2.79 \ m$.

The molarity of a $70 \%$ (mass/mass) aqueous solution of a monobasic acid $(X)$ is $........... \ M$ (Nearest integer). Given: Density of aqueous solution of $(X)$ is $1.25 \ g \ mL^{-1}$,Molar mass of the acid is $70 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
A
$10$
B
$12$
C
$13$
D
$15$

Solution

(C) Let the mass of the solution be $100 \ g$.
Since the solution is $70 \%$ (mass/mass),the mass of the solute $(X)$ is $70 \ g$.
The volume of the solution is calculated as: $V = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{100 \ g}{1.25 \ g \ mL^{-1}} = 80 \ mL$.
The number of moles of the acid $(X)$ is: $n = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{70 \ g}{70 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 1 \ mol$.
Molarity $(M)$ is defined as: $M = \frac{n \times 1000}{V \text{ (in } mL)} = \frac{1 \times 1000}{80} = 12.5 \ M$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,we get $13 \ M$.

$x \ g$ of $NaCl$ is added to water in a beaker with a lid. The temperature of the system is raised from $1^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$. Which out of the following plots is best suited for the change in the molarity $(M)$ of the solution with respect to temperature? [Consider the solubility of $NaCl$ remains unchanged over the temperature range]
A
Option A
B
Option B
C
Option C
D
Option D

Solution

(A) The density of water is maximum at $4^{\circ}C$,which means the volume of water is minimum at $4^{\circ}C$.
As the temperature increases from $1^{\circ}C$ to $4^{\circ}C$,the volume of water decreases,causing the molarity $(M = n/V)$ to increase.
As the temperature increases from $4^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$,the volume of water increases due to thermal expansion,causing the molarity to decrease.
Therefore,the molarity first increases and then decreases,which is represented by plot $A$.

Which of the following properties will change when the system containing solution $1$ becomes solution $2$?
$10 \ mol$ of solute $x + 10 \ L$ of water $1 \ L$ of solution $1 + 1 \ mol$ of solute $x + 1 \ L$ of water

(Solution $1$) (Solution $2$)
A
Molar heat capacity
B
Density
C
Concentration
D
Gibbs free energy

Solution

(D) Solution $1$ consists of $10 \ mol$ of solute $x$ in $10 \ L$ of water,resulting in a concentration of $1 \ mol/L$.
Solution $2$ is prepared by taking $1 \ L$ of solution $1$ (which contains $1 \ mol$ of $x$ and $1 \ L$ of water) and adding $1 \ mol$ of solute $x$ and $1 \ L$ of water.
Total amount in solution $2$ is $2 \ mol$ of $x$ in $2 \ L$ of water,so the concentration remains $1 \ mol/L$.
Since the concentration and composition are identical,intensive properties like density and molar heat capacity remain unchanged.
Gibbs free energy $(G)$ is an extensive property,which depends on the total amount of matter in the system.
Since the total amount of substance in solution $1$ is greater than in solution $2$,the Gibbs free energy will change.

Sea water,which can be considered as a $6 \ M$ solution of $NaCl$,has a density of $2 \ g \ mL^{-1}$. The concentration of dissolved oxygen $(O_2)$ in sea water is $5.8 \ ppm$. Then the concentration of dissolved oxygen $(O_2)$ in sea water is $x \times 10^{-4} \ m$. $x = ............$ $(Nearest \ integer)$
Given: Molar mass of $NaCl$ is $58.5 \ g \ mol^{-1}$. Molar mass of $O_2$ is $32 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
A
$2$
B
$4$
C
$6$
D
$8$

Solution

(A) Sea water is $6 \ M$ in $NaCl$,so $1000 \ mL$ of sea water contains $6 \ mol$ of $NaCl$.
$\text{Mass of solution} = \text{Volume} \times \text{density} = 1000 \times 2 = 2000 \ g$.
$\text{ppm} = \frac{\text{mass of } O_2}{\text{mass of solution}} \times 10^6$.
$5.8 = \frac{\text{mass of } O_2}{2000} \times 10^6$ $\Rightarrow \text{mass of } O_2 = 5.8 \times 2 \times 10^{-3} = 1.16 \times 10^{-2} \ g$.
$\text{Molality of } O_2 = \frac{\text{moles of } O_2}{\text{mass of solvent in } kg}$.
$\text{Mass of solvent} = \text{Mass of solution} - \text{Mass of } NaCl = 2000 - (6 \times 58.5) = 2000 - 351 = 1649 \ g = 1.649 \ kg$.
$\text{Moles of } O_2 = \frac{1.16 \times 10^{-2}}{32} = 0.03625 \times 10^{-2} = 3.625 \times 10^{-4} \ mol$.
$\text{Molality} = \frac{3.625 \times 10^{-4}}{1.649} \approx 2.197 \times 10^{-4} \ m$.
Thus,$x \approx 2$.

Calculate the mass of urea $[NH_2CONH_2]$ required in making $2.5 \ kg$ of $0.25 \ m$ aqueous solution. (in $g$)
A
$37.38$
B
$15.94$
C
$36.94$
D
$18.47$

Solution

(C) $0.25 \ m$ (molal) solution means $0.25 \ \text{moles}$ of urea are dissolved in $1000 \ g$ $(1 \ kg)$ of solvent.
The molar mass of urea $[NH_2CONH_2]$ is $14 + 2 + 12 + 16 + 14 + 2 = 60 \ g/mol$.
Mass of urea in $1000 \ g$ of solvent $= 0.25 \ \text{mol} \times 60 \ g/mol = 15 \ g$.
Total mass of the solution $= \text{Mass of solute} + \text{Mass of solvent} = 15 \ g + 1000 \ g = 1015 \ g = 1.015 \ kg$.
For $1.015 \ kg$ of solution,we need $15 \ g$ of urea.
Therefore,for $2.5 \ kg$ of solution,the mass of urea required $= (15 \ g / 1.015 \ kg) \times 2.5 \ kg \approx 36.94 \ g$.

Calculate the mole fraction of $C_2H_6O_2$ (ethylene glycol) in an aqueous solution containing $28 \%$ by mass of $C_2H_6O_2$.
A
$0.201$
B
$0.101$
C
$0.450$
D
$0.84$

Solution

(B) Given: Mass percentage of $C_2H_6O_2 = 28 \%$.
This means $28 \ g$ of $C_2H_6O_2$ is present in $100 \ g$ of the solution.
Mass of water = $100 \ g - 28 \ g = 72 \ g$.
Molar mass of $C_2H_6O_2 = (2 \times 12) + (6 \times 1) + (2 \times 16) = 62 \ g/mol$.
Molar mass of $H_2O = 18 \ g/mol$.
Moles of $C_2H_6O_2 (n_1) = \frac{28}{62} \approx 0.4516 \ mol$.
Moles of $H_2O (n_2) = \frac{72}{18} = 4.000 \ mol$.
Mole fraction of $C_2H_6O_2 (x_1) = \frac{n_1}{n_1 + n_2} = \frac{0.4516}{0.4516 + 4.000} = \frac{0.4516}{4.4516} \approx 0.1014$.
Therefore,the mole fraction is approximately $0.101$.

A
$(\frac{M_1-M_2}{M_2}) V_1$
B
$(\frac{M_1-M_2}{M_1}) V_1$
C
$(\frac{M_1}{M_2-M_1}) V_1$
D
$(\frac{M_2}{M_2-M_1}) V_1$

Solution

(A) According to the dilution formula,$M_1 V_1 = M_2 V_2$,where $V_2$ is the final volume of the solution.
$V_2 = \frac{M_1 V_1}{M_2}$.
The volume of water to be added is $V_{\text{added}} = V_2 - V_1$.
Substituting $V_2$,we get $V_{\text{added}} = \frac{M_1 V_1}{M_2} - V_1$.
$V_{\text{added}} = V_1 (\frac{M_1}{M_2} - 1) = V_1 (\frac{M_1 - M_2}{M_2})$.

A
$0.032$
B
$0.022$
C
$0.967$
D
$0.044$

Solution

(A) Step $1$: Calculate the moles of solute $(n_{solute})$.
$n_{solute} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{394 \ g}{342 \ g \ mol^{-1}} \approx 1.152 \ mol$.
Step $2$: Calculate the moles of solvent $(n_{solvent})$.
$n_{solvent} = \frac{622 \ g}{18 \ g \ mol^{-1}} \approx 34.556 \ mol$.
Step $3$: Calculate the mole fraction of solute $(X_{solute})$.
$X_{solute} = \frac{n_{solute}}{n_{solute} + n_{solvent}} = \frac{1.152}{1.152 + 34.556} = \frac{1.152}{35.708} \approx 0.032$.

A
$0.8$
B
$0.4$
C
$0.2$
D

Solution

(A) Given: Mass of solute $(CH_3COOH)$ $= 60 \ g$,Volume of solution $= 1 \ dm^3 = 1000 \ cm^3$,Density of solution $= 1.25 \ g / cm^3$.
Molar mass of $CH_3COOH = 12 + 3 + 12 + 16 + 16 + 1 = 60 \ g / mol$.
Moles of solute $= \frac{60 \ g}{60 \ g / mol} = 1 \ mol$.
Mass of solution $= \text{Volume} \times \text{Density} = 1000 \ cm^3 \times 1.25 \ g / cm^3 = 1250 \ g$.
Mass of solvent $= \text{Mass of solution} - \text{Mass of solute} = 1250 \ g - 60 \ g = 1190 \ g = 1.19 \ kg$.
Molality $(m) = \frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{1 \ mol}{1.19 \ kg} \approx 0.84 \ m$.
Note: Assuming the $1 \ dm^3$ refers to the volume of the solution,the calculated molality is approximately $0.84 \ m$. Given the options,$0.8 \ m$ is the closest approximation.

Number of moles of $NaOH = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{5.0 \ g}{40 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.125 \ mol$
Volume of solution $= 100 \ mL = 0.1 \ L$
Molarity $= \frac{0.125 \ mol}{0.1 \ L} = 1.25 \ mol \ L^{-1}$ (or $1.25 \ mol \ dm^{-3}$)

C
$5.0$
D
$3.4$

Solution

(C) For $NaCl$: $n(Cl^-) = M \times V = 3.0 \ M \times 0.300 \ L = 0.9 \ mol$.
For $BaCl_{2}$: $BaCl_{2} \rightarrow Ba^{2+} + 2Cl^-$.
$n(Cl^-) = 2 \times M \times V = 2 \times 4.0 \ M \times 0.200 \ L = 1.6 \ mol$.
Total moles of $Cl^- = 0.9 \ mol + 1.6 \ mol = 2.5 \ mol$.
Total volume of solution = $300 \ mL + 200 \ mL = 500 \ mL = 0.5 \ L$.
Molar concentration of $Cl^- = \frac{\text{Total moles}}{\text{Total volume}} = \frac{2.5 \ mol}{0.5 \ L} = 5.0 \ M$.

A
$0.200$
B
$0.192$

Solution

(B) Given: Volume of solution $= 1500 \ cm^{3}$,Density of solution $= 1.052 \ g/cm^{3}$,Mass of urea (solute) $= 18 \ g$,Molar mass of urea $= 60 \ g/mol$.
Mass of solution $= \text{Volume} \times \text{Density} = 1500 \ cm^{3} \times 1.052 \ g/cm^{3} = 1578 \ g$.
Mass of solvent (water) $= \text{Mass of solution} - \text{Mass of solute} = 1578 \ g - 18 \ g = 1560 \ g = 1.560 \ kg$.
Molality $(m) = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in } kg} = \frac{18 / 60}{1.560} = \frac{0.3}{1.560} \approx 0.192 \ m$.

A
Molarity
B
Molality
C

Solution

(A) Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per unit volume of solution $(M = \frac{n}{V})$.

What is the relation between molality $(m)$ of the solution and molar mass $(M_2)$ of the solute,where $W_2$ is the mass of solute in grams and $W_1$ is the mass of solvent in grams?
A
$m = \frac{M_2 \times W_2}{1000 \times W_1}$
B
$m = \frac{1000 \times W_2}{M_2 \times W_1}$
C
$m = \frac{1000 \times W_1}{M_2 \times W_2}$
D
$m = \frac{M_2 \times W_1}{1000 \times W_2}$

Solution

(B) Molality $(m)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Number of moles of solute $(n_2)$ = $\frac{W_2}{M_2}$.
Mass of solvent in kg = $\frac{W_1}{1000}$.
Therefore,$m = \frac{n_2}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{W_2 / M_2}{W_1 / 1000} = \frac{1000 \times W_2}{M_2 \times W_1}$.

EasyMCQ
Which of the following factors affect the molarity of a solution?
A
Nature of solute dissolved
B
Temperature
C
Mass of solvent
D
Molar mass of solvent

Solution

(B) Molarity $(M)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
$M = \frac{n_{solute}}{V_{solution(L)}}$
Since the volume of a solution $(V)$ is dependent on temperature (due to thermal expansion or contraction),a change in temperature will change the volume of the solution.
Therefore,molarity is affected by a change in temperature.

A
$498.75$
B
$300$
C
$600$
D
$200$

Solution

(A) Mass percentage of solute $= 0.25 \%$. This means $0.25 \ g$ of solute is present in $100 \ g$ of solution.
Mass of solvent $= \text{Mass of solution} - \text{Mass of solute} = 100 \ g - 0.25 \ g = 99.75 \ g$.
Thus,$0.25 \ g$ of solute is present in $99.75 \ g$ of solvent.
For $1.25 \ g$ of solute,the mass of solvent required is $\frac{99.75 \ g \text{ solvent}}{0.25 \ g \text{ solute}} \times 1.25 \ g \text{ solute} = 498.75 \ g$.

(A) Given: Mass of sugar $= 34.2 \ g$,Molar mass of sugar $= 342 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles of sugar $(n_{sugar}) = \frac{34.2}{342} = 0.1 \ mol$.
Mass of water $= 1.8 \times 10^{2} \ g = 180 \ g$,Molar mass of water $= 18 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles of water $(n_{water}) = \frac{180}{18} = 10 \ mol$.
Mole fraction of sugar $(x_{sugar}) = \frac{n_{sugar}}{n_{sugar} + n_{water}} = \frac{0.1}{0.1 + 10} = \frac{0.1}{10.1} \approx 0.0099$.
