Question

50.0 g of methanol (CH3OH, molecular mass = 32.04 g/mol) is dissolved to make 500.0 mL of solution. What is the molarity, mol/L, of the resulting solution? 

Would that be? 

32.04/.50 = 64.08

 

 

Expert Solution
Step 1 Molarity

Given, mass of methanol = 50 g

         Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol

        Volume of solution = 500 ml or 0.5 ltr

          Molarity = no. of moles of soluteVolume of solution (ltr)

          Molarity = 50/32.04500/1000

                        = 1.560.5 = 3.12 M
