Solutions of hydrogen in palladium may be formed by exposing Pd metal to H2 gas. The concentration of hydrogen in the palladium depends on the pressure of H2 gas applied, but in a more complex fashion than can be described by Henry's law. Under certain conditions, 0.95 g of hydrogen gas is dissolved in 214 g of palladium metal. (The density of the resulting solution is 11.6 g/cm3.)
Determine the molarity of this solution.
Determine the molality of this solution.
Determine the percent by mass of hydrogen in this solution.
mass of H2 = 0.95 g
mass of Pd metal = 214 g
total mass = 0.95 + 214 = 214.95 g
density of solution = 11.6 g / mL
volume of solution = mass / density
= 214.95 / 11.6
= 18.53 mL
Moles of H2 = 0.95 / 2 = 0.475
Molarity = moles / volume = 0.475 / 0.01853
Molarity = 25.6 M
Molality = moles / mass of solvent in kg
= 0.475 / 0.214
Molality = 2.22 m
mass % = ( 0.95 / 214.95 ) x 100
mass % = 0.44 %
