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%H2SO4by mass means:

       31.4gm H2SO4in 100gm solution

       31.498mol=0.32mol H2SO4in100g1.25g mL-1

                                  =80mL solution

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