A solution of h2so4(aq) with a molal concentration of 2.88 m has a density of 1.167 g/ml. what is the molar concentration of this solution?

Respuesta :

Molal concentration gives the number of moles dissolved in 1 kg of solution.
Molal concentration of H₂SO₄ is 2.88 mol/kg
the weight of H₂SO₄ in 1 kg  - 2.88 mol x 98 g/mol = 282.2 g
The total weight of solution - 1000 g + 282.2 g = 1282.2 g
density of solution is 1.167 g/ml
We need to find how many moles are dissolved in 1 L.
We know the weight of the solution, using this we can calculate volume of the solution
volume of solution is - 1282.2 g / 1.167 g/mL = 1098.7 mL 
The number of H₂SO₄ moles in 1.0987 L = 2.88 mol
Therefore in 1 L = 2.88 mol / 1.0987 L = 2.62 mol
Molarity of  H₂SO₄ is 2.62 mol/L = 2.62 M
