To find:
The given concentration of ammonia, nitrite ion, and nitrate ion in molality unit from density and concentrations

Answer to Problem 11.63QA
Solution:
a. Molality of NH3
b. Molality of NO2-
c. Molality of NO3-
Explanation of Solution
1. Formulae:
i.
ii.
A mole is the SI unit of amount chemical substance. When writing units, it is written as “mol”.
Here we assume
Therefore mass of solution can be calculated using the formula for density.
2. Given:
i. Concentration of ammonia (NH3)
ii. Concentration of nitrite ion (NO2-)
iii. Concentration of nitrate ion (NO3-)
iv. Density of solution
v. Conversion factors:
3. Calculation
a. Concentration of NH3 in molality unit
Using
Using mass of solution and mass of solute (NH3), we can calculate the mass of solvent.
The molar mass of ammonia is
Using mole and mass of solvent in kg, we can calculate molality of ammonia solution.
The molality of ammonia solution is
b. Concentration of
Using
Using mass of solution and mass of solute (NO2-), we can calculate mass of solvent.
The molar mass of nitrite ion is
Using mole and mass of solvent in kg, we can calculate molality of nitrite ion in solution.
The molality of nitrite ion is
c. Concentration of
Using
Using mass of solution and mass of solute (NO3-), we can calculate mass of solvent.
The molar mass of nitrate ion is
Using mole and mass of solvent in kg, we can calculate molality of nitrate ion in solution.
The molality of nitrate ion is
Conclusion:
We calculated the mass of solution from volume and density of solution. From the volume and given concentration, we calculated the mass of solute. Using mass of solution and mass of solute, we can calculate mass of solvent. From the molar mass and mass of solute, we calculate moles of solute. Finally, with mole of solute and mass of solvent in kg, we will get molality of species.
