An aqueous KNO3 solution is made using 72.5 g of KNO3 diluted to a total solution volume of 2.00 L. Calculate the molarity, molality, and mass percent of the solution. (Assume the density of 1.05 g/mL for the solution.)

The molarity is 0.359 $\frac{moles}{L}$

The molality is 0.354 $\frac{moles}{kg}$

The mass percent of the solution es 3.45%

Explanation:

Molarity is a unit of concentration that indicates the amount of moles of solute that appear dissolved in each liter of the mixture. It is determined by:

$Molarity (M)=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}$

Being:

K: 39 g/moleN: 14 g/moleO: 16 g/mole

The molar mass of KNO₃ is:

KNO₃= 39 g/mole + 14 g/mole + 3*16 g/mole= 101 g/mole

You can apply the following rule of three: if 101 grams of KNO₃ are present in 1 mole, 72.5 grams in how many moles are present?

$moles of KNO_{3}=\frac{72.5 grams*1 mole}{101 grams}$

moles of KNO₃= 0.718

So you have:

moles of KNO₃= 0.718volume= 2 L

Applying this quantity in the definition of molarity:

$molarity=\frac{0.718 moles}{2 L}$

Molarity= 0.359 $\frac{moles}{L}$

The molarity is 0.359 $\frac{moles}{L}$

Molality is a way of measuring the concentration of solute in solvent and indicates the amount of moles of solute in each kilogram of solvent.

Then the molality is calculated by:

$Molality=\frac{moles of solute}{mass of solvent in kilograms}$

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress in a given space. That is, it is the amount of mass per unit volume. So, if the density of 1.05 g / mL for the solution indicates that in 1 mL of solution there are 1.05 grams of solution, in 2000 mL (where 2L = 2000 mL, because 1 L = 1000mL) how much mass is there?

$mass=\frac{2000 mL*1.05 grams}{1 mL}$

mass= 2100 grams

Since mass solution = mass water + mass KNO₃

then mass water = mass solution - mass KNO₃

Being mass solution 2100 grams and mass KNO₃ 72.5 grams, and replacing you get: mass water= 2100 grams - 72.5 grams

mass water= 2,027.5 grams

Then, being:

moles of KNO₃= 0.718mass of solvent in kilograms= 2.0275 kg (being 2,027.5 grams= 2.0275 kilograms because 1,000 grams= 1 kilogram)

Replacing in the definition of molality:

$molality=\frac{0.718 moles}{2.0275 kg}$

molality= 0.354 $\frac{moles}{kg}$

The molality is 0.354 $\frac{moles}{kg}$

The mass percent of a solution is the number of grams of solute per 100 grams of solution. Then the mass percent is the mass of the element or solute divided by the mass of the compound or solute and the result of which is multiplied by 100 to give a percentage.

$mass percent=\frac{mass of solute}{mass of solution} *100$

So, in this case:

$mass percent=\frac{72.5 grams}{2100 grams} *100$

mass percent= 3.45 % KNO₃ by mass

The mass percent of the solution es 3.45%

Answer from: Quest

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in $h_{2}s$ , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between $h_{2}s$ molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent $h_{2}s$ molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.

Achemical reaction (also known as a chemical change) produces substances that are chemically different from the starting materials. an example of a chemical reaction is the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen gas. in a physical change, a substance changes its physical appearance but not its chemical identity. an example of physical change is the formation of liquid water from solid water, a familiar process called melting. physically, liquid water looks very different from solid water (ice) but the chemical identity, water, is the same for both. which of following changes that affect the composition of our atmosphere involve physical changes and which involve chemical reactions? oxygen gas changes to ozone during thunderstorms carbon dioxide is produced by the combustion of gasoline in an automobile engine. when coal, oil, and natural gas are decomposed in landsills they produce methane gas. freezing rain develops when a warm air mass overrides a cold air mass. fog forms from water vapor when the temperature drops below the dew point
