<u>Answer:</u> The molarity of solution is 1.08 M
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
(m/m) of phenol = 1.40 %
This means that 1.40 g of phenol is present in 100 g of solution.
To calculate volume of solution, we use the equation:
Density of solution = 0.9956 g/mL
Mass of solution = 100 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:
We are given:
Mass of solute (phenol) = 1.40 g
Molar mass of phenol = 94.11 g/mol
Volume of solution = 100.442 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the molarity of solution is 0.15 M
