An aqueous NaCl solution is made using 124 g of NaCl diluted to a total solution volume of 1.05 L .
calculate molarity, caluclate molality. calculate mass percent.
Molarity = moles/volume in litres
moles = mass / molar mass
124g/58.44 g/mol = 2.12 mol
Molarity of NaCl = 2.12 mol / 1.05 L = 2.02 M
If change in volume is ignored and the density of solution is taken as 1Kg/L
mass of solvent = 1Kg/L x 1.05 L = 1.05 Kg
molality = moles of solute/mass of solvent in Kg
= 2.12/1.05 = 2.02 m
total mass = mass of solute + mass of solvent =0.124 kg + 1.05 kg = 1.174 kg
mass % of NaCl = 0.124/1.174 x 100 = 10.56 %
mass %water = 100-10.56 = 89.44 %
this not very accurate as density of solution needed for exact
calculations
it could be done by interpolating with saturated NaCl density to
the plain water density
and hence required density of our solution can be obtained
