Question

What is the concentration (M) of CH3OH in a solution prepared by dissolving 34.4 g of CH3OH in sufficient water to give exactly 230 mL of solution

Answer 1

Answer:

4.67M

Explanation:

The concentration of methanol (CH3OH) can be calculated using the following:

Molarity (M) = number of moles(n)/volume(v)

However, mole is not given. It can be obtained by using:

Mole = mass / molar mass

Where; mass = 34.4g

Molar mass (MM) of CH3OH is:

= 12 + 1(3) + 16 + 1

= 12 + 3 + 17

= 32g/mol

mole = 34.4/32

mole = 1.075mol

The volume needs to be converted to L by dividing by 1000

230mL = 230/1000

= 0.230L

Molarity = mol/volume

Molarity = 1.075/0.230

Molarity = 4.6739

Molarity = 4.67M

The concentration of CH3OH in solution is 4.67M
