Solutions and Colligative Properties - Result Question 29

28. What is the molarity and molality of a $13 %$ solution (by weight) of sulphuric acid with a density of $1.02$ $ g / mL$ ? To what volume should $100 $ $mL$ of this solution be diluted in order to prepare a $1.5 $ $N$ solution?

$(1978,2 M)$

(a) $0.027 $ $mm$ $Hg$

(b) $0.031 $ $mm$ $Hg$

(c) $0.017 $ $mm$ $Hg$

(d) $0.028 $ $mm$ $Hg$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 28. $(180.40$ $ mL)$

Solution:

Let us consider $1.0 L$ of solution.

$\text { Weight of solution } =1000 \times 1.02=1020 g $

$\text { Weight of } H _2 SO _4 =1020 \times \frac{13}{100}=132.60 g $

$\text { Weight of } H _2 O =1020-132.60=887.40 g $

$\Rightarrow \text { Molarity } =\frac{132.60}{98}=1.353 M $

$ \text { Molality } =\frac{132.60}{98} \times \frac{1000}{887.40}=1.525 m $

$\Rightarrow \text { Normality }=2 \times M=2.706 $

$\Rightarrow 2.706 \times 100 =1.5 V $

$ V =180.40$ $ mL$
