Dissolving 120 g of a compound of (mol. wt. 60) in 1000 g of water gave a solution of density 1.12 g/mL. The molarity of the solution is :
Options
- A2.50 M
- B1.00 M
- C2.00 M
- D4.00 M
Correct answer
C. 2.00 M
Step-by-step solution
Mass of compound = 120 g   ;       m o l e s = 120 g 60 g / m o l e = 2 Mass of solution = 1 0 0 0 + 1 2 0 = 1 1 2 0 g Volume of solution m a s s d = 1120 g 1.12 g / m L = 1000 m L Molarity = 2 moles 1 0 0 0 mL × 1 0 0 0 mL = 2 M (no of moles/Litre)
