Consider the solution formed from dissolving 11.20 ml of methylene chloride, CH2Cl2 (Mm=85.0g/mol, Density=1.33g/ml; non-electrolyte) into 102.8 ml of carbon tetrachloride, CCl4 (Mm=154g/mol, density=1.59g/ml; non-electrolyte). Determine the molality and molarity of the resulting solution assuming additive volumes.
volume of CH2Cl2 = 11.20 ml
density of CH2Cl2 = 1.33 g /ml
mass of CH2Cl2 = volume x density = 11.20 x 1.33 = 14.896 g
molar mass of CH2Cl2 = 85 g/mol
moles of CH2Cl2 (solute ) = mass / molar mass
= 14.896 / 85
= 0.175
total volume of solution = 102.8 + 11.20 = 114 ml = 0.114 L
molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution
= 0.175 / 0.114
= 1.54 M
molarity = 1.54 M
volume of solvent = 102.8 ml
density of solvent = 1.59 g /ml
mass of solvent = density x volume
= 1.59 x 102.8
= 163.45 g
= 0.16345 kg
molality = moles of solute / mass of solvent
= 0.175 / 0.16345
= 0.00107 m
molality = 0.00107 m
