Q.

A solution of H2SO4 is 31.4% H2SO4 by mass and has a density of 1.25 g/mL. The molarity of the H2SO4 solution is _____ M (nearest integer)

[Given molar mass of H2SO4 = 98 g mol-1]                     [2024]


Ans.

(4)

       31.4% H2SO4 by mass means:

       31.4 gm H2SO4 in 100gm solution

       ⇒31.498 mol=0.32 mol H2SO4 in 100 g1.25 g mL-1

                                  =80 mL solution

        Molarity=nsoluteVsolution (in mL)×1000=0.3280×1000 M=4 M
