# Solutions Important questions

Here let me first introduce to the Naming system
Here subscript
A -> Stands for Solvent
B -> Solute
S -> Solution
$W_A$ = Mass of solvent
$M_A$ = Molar mass of solvent
$W_B$ = Mass of solute $M_B$= Molar mass of solute
$n_A$ = no. of moles of solvent
$n_B$ = no. of moles of solute
$n_A = \frac {W_A}{M_A}$
$n_B = \frac {W_B}{M_B}$
$W_S$ = Mass of solution
$W_S = W_A + W_B$
$d_S$= density of solution
$d_S =\frac { W_S}{V_S}$

Question 1
6 gm of urea ($NH_2CONH_2$) is present in 250 ml of solution. Find molarity if the density of the solution is 1.1 gm/ml find molality.
Solution
$M_B$ = 60 gm
$W_B$ = 6 gm
$\text {Molarity} = \frac {W_B}{M_B} \times \frac {1000}{V_S} = .4 \ M$
Now
$d_S = 1.1 = \frac {W_S}{V_S}$
$W_S=275$ g
Now
$W_S = W_A + W_B$
or $W_A= 269$ g
Now
$\text {Molality} = \frac {W_B}{M_B} \times \frac {1000}{W_A} = \frac {(6 \times 1000)}{(60 \times 269)}= .371 m$

Question 2
10 gm of Ethylene glycol is dissolved in 500 gm of water. Find Molality. if the density of the solution is 1.2 gm/ml then find molarity.
Solution
for $H_2O$
$W_A$ = 500 gm
For Ethylene glycol($(CH_2OH)_2$)
$W_B$ = 10 gm,$M_B$ = 62 gm
Now $\text {Molality} = \frac {W_B}{M_B} \times \frac {1000}{W_A} = .322$ m
Now for $V_S$ we have
$d = W_S/V_S = (W_A+ W_B)/V_S$
$1.2 = (W_A+ W_B)/V_S$
$V_S = 510/1.2 =425$ ml
Now
$\text {Molarity} = \frac {W_B}{M_B} \times \frac {1000}{V_S} = .379 \ M$

Question 3
Find the molarity of 5 m aqueous glucose solution of density 1.1 gm/ ml
Solution
Glucose($C_6H_{12}O_6$)
$M_B$ = 180 gm ,Molality = 5m
$d_S = 1.1$gm/ml
Now
$m = n_B/W_A$
$m = (W_A \times 1000)/(M_B \times W_A )$
When $W_A$ = 1000 gm then
$n_B = 5$
So,
$W_B/M_B =5$
$W_B$ = 900 gm
Also,
$d_S = W_S/V_S$
So, $V_S = (W_A+ W_B)/d_S = 1900/1.1$ ml
Now, Molarity = $(W_B \times 1000)/(M_B \times V_S )$
$=(900 \times 1000 \times 1.1)/(180 \times 1900)=2.89$M

Question 3
Find the molarity of a sample of 68% HNO3 by mass in aqueous solution. If density of the solution in 1.504 gm/ml.
Solution
For HNO3
$M_B$ = 63 gm
$68% = W_B/W_S =68/100$
$W_B$ = 68 gm
Also,
$d_S = W_S/V_S$
$1.504 = 100/V_S$
$V_S = 100/1.504$
$M = (W_B \times 1000)/(M_B \times V_S )= 16.23$M

Question 4
A sample of water contains 2 mg of a harmful substance in 1,000 kg of drinking water. Express the conc. of solution in ppm.
Solution
$ppm = W_B/W_S \times 10^6$
$= (2 \times 10^6 \times 10^{-3})/(1000 \times 1000 ) = 2 \times 10^{-3}$ ppm.

Question 5
A sample of drinking water is contaminated with chloroform. The label of contamination is 15 ppm. Express this conc. in terms of:
(i)% by mass of chloroform
(ii)Molality

Question 6

Question 7
500ml of water is added to 2l of 1M. Find the molarity of the solution after dilution.

Question 8
A glucose solution which boils at 101.04 ° C at 1 atm. What will be relative lowering of vapour pressure of an aqueous solution of urea which is equimolal to given glucose solution? (Given: $K_b$ for water is 0.52 K kg/mol)
Solution
$\Delta T_b= K_b.m$
$\Delta T_b = 101.04-100 = 1.04$ °C
Substututing the value of $\Delta T_b$ and $K_b$
or m= 1.04 /0.52 = 2 m
2 m solution means 2 moles of solute in 1 kg of solvent.
2 m aq solution of urea means 2 moles of urea in 1kg of water.
No. of moles of water = 1000/18 = 55.5
Now relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by the formula
Relative lowering of VP = x2 (where x2 is mole fraction of solute)
Relative lowering of VP = $n_2/n_1+n_2$ ($n_2$ is no. of moles of solute , $n_1$ is no. of moles of solvent)
= 2/ 2+55.5 = 2/57.5 = 0.034

Question 9
At 293 K vapour pressure of Ethyl acetate is 72.8 torr of Hg and that of ethyl propionate is 27.7 torr of Hg. assuming the mixture to be ideal find the V. P. off the mixture containing 25 g of Ethyl acetate and 50 g of Ethyl propionate.
Solution
for Ethyl acetate $CH_3COOC_2H_5$
$P_A^O=72.8$ torr
$W_A = 25$ gm , $M_A = 88$ gm/mol
For ethyl propionate $CH_3CH_2COO C_2 H_5$
$P_B^O = 27.7$ torr of Hg
$W_B = 50$ g,$M_B=102$ g/mol
$n_A = 25/88 = 0.284$
$n_B =50/102=0.490$
Now,
$\chi _A = n_A/(n_A+ n_B )=0.367$
$\chi _B = 1 – \chi _A = 1 – 0.367 = 0.633$
$P_S = .367 \times 72.8 + .633 \times 27.7=44.25$ torr of Hg

Solution
KCL -> K+ + Cl-
so, n=2
i=1-x + 2x = 1 +x
$\Delta T_f= iK_f.m$
$=.24$
$\Delta T_f=T_f^o- T_f$
$T_f=-.24 ^0$ C

Solution
$P_A^o = 150$ ,$P_B^o = 50$
$W_A$ = x,$W_B$ = x
$M_A = 78$,$M_B$ = 92
$n_A = x/78$,$n_B = x/92$
$x_A = n_A/(n_A+ n_B )=(x/78)/(x/78+x/92) = 46/85$
$x_B = 1- 46/85=39/85$
Total Vapour Pressure= = 104.1 torr.

Question 12

[Given: Molar mass Br = 80 g/mol, $K_f$ of water = 1.86 K kg / mol]
Solution
HBr -> H+ + Br-
so, n=2
i=1-x + nx = 1 +x
$\Delta T_f= iK_f.m$

$=3.53$
$\Delta T_f=T_f^o- T_f$
$T_f=-3.53 ^0$ C

Question 13

Solution

$P_{water}^o = 0.198$ bar ,$P_x^o$= ?
$W_{water} = 72$,$W_x = 28$
$M_{water} = 18$,$M_x = 140$
$n_{water} = 72/18=4$ ,$n_x = 28/140=0.2$
$x_{water} = 4/4.2$,$x_X = 0.2/4.2$
$P_S = P_x^o. x_X + P_{water}^o. x_{water}$
$0.210 = P_x^o (0.2/4.2)+ (0.198)(4/4.2)$
$P_x^o = 0.448$ bar

(a)complete association
(b)50% association
(c) 80% association

4x -> X4
(a) i = (no.of particles after association)/(no.of particles before association)
i = 1/4=0.25
(b) Incomplete association:
$\alpha = (i-1)/(n-1)$
$0.50 = (i-1)/(0.25 -1)$
So, $i= 0.725$
(c)
Incomplete association:
$\alpha = (i-1)/(n-1)$
$0.80 = (i-1)/(0.25 -1)$
So, $i= 0.4$

Question 23
In winter the normal temperature in a Himalayan valley is -10° C. Is 30% by mass of aqueous solution of ethylene glycol suitable for car radiators?
Solution
$W_A$ = 70 g,$W_B$ = 30 g
$M_B$ = 62 g
$K_f = 1.86$
$\Delta T_f= K_f \times (W_B \times 1000)/(M_B \times W_A )$\Delta T_f= (1.86 \times 30 \times 1000)/(62 \times 70)
$=12$ ° C
$\Delta T_f= T_f^o- T_f$
$12=0- T_f$
$T_f = -12$ ° C.
As the freezing point is less than prevailing temperature.
Therefore, It is suitable to add.
