Answer:
The molarity of the solution is 7.4 mol/L
Explanation:
From the question above
0.400 ml of water contains 1.00 g of hydrochloride form of cocaine
Therefore 1000 ml of water will contain x g of hydrochloride form of cocaine
x = 1000 / 0.400
x = 2500 g
2500g of hydrochloride form of cocaine is present in 1000 ml of water.
Mole of hydrochloride form of cocaine = mass /molar mass of hydrochloride
Mole of hydrochloride form of cocaine = 2500/339.8
= 7.4 mol
Molarity = mol/ volume in liter (L)
molarity = 7.4 /1
Molarity = 7.4 mol/L
They discovered this since S waves don’t travel through the earth but P waves do. P waves tend to travel faster than S waves in speed, 1&14km/s vs 1&8km/s
