molarity = mol / litre The concentration is 10% HCl in water, assuming this is expressed in w/v (weight to volume) as this is the normal way. The density of 10% HCl is unknown but will be estimated to be the same as water (although slightly incorrect), since no data is given. 1 L of which 10% are HCl is assumed to weigh 1000 grams. 10% HCl x 1000g = 100g of HCl. 100g of HCl is present in 1 L. The mw of HCl = 36.5g/mol, 100g/(36.5g/mol) = 2.74mol is present in 1 L. The molarity is 2.74mol / 1 L = 2.7 M (two significant figures) (Looking up hydrochloric acid in wikipedia tells us that the density of a 10% solution is actually 1048g/L and the actual molarity becomes 2.87M. The calculated number was close enough, but it shows that the density is important. Molality on the other hand is mol/kg, so with molality we can skip the unknown density problem. For practical purposes, molarity is still the mostly used one, because volume is easier to measure than weight in the laboratory when handling toxic solvents that are unhealthy to inhale.)

A bottle of commercial concentrated aqueous ammonia is labeled 28.89 percent NH3 by mass and density is 0.8960 grams mL. What is the molarity of the ammonia solution?

To find the molarity, first calculate the moles of NH3 in 100g of the solution using the mass percent. Then convert the volume of the solution (1 mL) to liters. Finally, divide moles by liters to obtain the molarity.


What would be the molarity of a 5 percent NaCl solution?

To calculate the molarity of a 5% NaCl solution, you need to know the density of the solution. Once you have the density, you can convert the percentage to grams per liter. Then, using the molar mass of NaCl (58.44 g/mol), you can calculate the molarity using the formula Molarity = (mass of solute in g) / (molar mass of solute in g/mol) / (volume of solution in L).


What is the molarity of a 3.0 percent hydrogen peroxide H2O2 aqueous solution when the density is essentially 1.0g over mL?

If the density is 1.0 g/ml, one liter of the solution will weigh 1000 grams. 3.0 % of this mass or 30 grams of it is constituted of H2O2. The molar mass of H2O2 is 2 (1.008 + 15.999) = 34.014. The molarity of this solution is therefore 30/34.014 = 0.88, to the justified number of significant digits.


Calculate the molarity of a hydrochloric acid solution that is 18.25 percent HCl by mass and has a density 1.2gmL?

First, calculate the mass of HCl in 100 g of the solution: 18.25% of 100 g is 18.25 g. Convert the volume to liters: 1.2 g/mL = 1.2 kg/L. Calculate molarity using the formula Molarity (M) = (moles of solute)/(volume of solution in liters), where moles of solute = mass of HCl in grams / molar mass of HCl and volume of solution = mass of solution in grams / density of solution in g/mL.

Calculate the mole fraction of HCl in 20 percent aqueous solution?

The mole fraction of HCl in a 20% aqueous solution can be calculated by converting the percentage to a molarity concentration. Assuming the density of the solution is 1 g/mL, a 20% solution means 20g of HCl in 100g of solution. If the molar mass of HCl is 36.5 g/mol, we can calculate the molarity and then use it to find the mole fraction of HCl in the solution.

What is the molarity of 35 per cent Hydrochloric acid solution with specific gravity of 1.8 gram per liter?

To find the molarity, we first need to calculate the weight percent of hydrochloric acid in the solution: 35% of the solution is HCl. Then we calculate the molarity using the specific gravity, which is the ratio of the density of the solution to the density of water. Finally, we use the molarity formula to find the molarity: Molarity = (Weight % HCl / molar mass of HCl) / (Specific gravity of the solution).
