Q.

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)                        [2024]

1 3.8  
2 3.5  
3 2.8  
4 3.0  

Ans.

(4)

molality=1000×Molarity1000×density-Molarity×Msolute

3=1000x1000×1.12-x×40

3360-120x=1000x

1120x=3360

x=3
