Answer:
1.73 M
Explanation:
We must first obtain the concentration of the concentrated acid from the formula;
Co= 10pd/M
Where
Co= concentration of concentrated acid = (the unknown)
p= percentage concentration of concentrated acid= 37.3%
d= density of concentrated acid = 1.19 g/ml
M= Molar mass of the anhydrous acid
Molar mass of anhydrous HCl= 1 +35.5= 36.5 gmol-1
Substituting values;
Co= 10 × 37.3 × 1.19/36.5
Co= 443.87/36.6
Co= 12.16 M
We can now use the dilution formula
CoVo= CdVd
Where;
Co= concentration of concentrated acid= 12.16 M
Vo= volume of concentrated acid = 35.5 ml
Cd= concentration of dilute acid =(the unknown)
Vd= volume of dilute acid = 250ml
Substituting values and making Cd the subject of the formula;
Cd= CoVo/Vd
Cd= 12.16 × 35.5/250
Cd= 1.73 M
Answer:
A) 2.69 M
B) 0.059
Explanation:
A) We have:
33.8% solute by mass= 33.8 g solute/100 g solution
molarity = mol solute/ 1 L solution
molarity=
x
x
x 
molarity= 2.69 mol solute/L solution = 2.69 M
B) We know that there are 33.8 g of solute in 100 g of solution.
As the total solution is compounded by solute+solvent (in this case, solvent is water), the mass of water is the difference between the mass of the total solution and the mass of solute:
mass of water= 100 g - 33.8 g = 66.2 g
Now, we calculate the number of mol of both solute and water:
mol solute= 33.8 g solute x
= 0.232 mol
mol H20= 66.2 g H₂O x 
Finally, the mol fraction of solute (Xsolute) is calculated as follows:
Xsolute=
Xsolute= 0.059
