Question

You are given a clear solution. You are told that the solution is a 50.0 wt% solution and the molar concentration of the solute is 8.42 mol/L. You measure the density and find that it is 1.07 g/ml. What is the molar mass of the solute?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Let total mass 100 g

Mass of solute 50g.

Mass Of solvent = 50g

Density = 1.07g/cm3

Volume of solvent = (50/1.07) cm3= 46.73 ml = 0.04673L

Let molar mass = Mg/mol

Moles of solute = (50/M) mol

Now, molarity = (50/M)/0.04673= 8.42
