A chemist combined chloroform (CHCl3) and acetone (C3H6O) to create a solution where the mole fraction of chloroform is 0.187. The densities of chloroform and acetone are 1.48 g/mL and 0.791 g/mL, respectively.
Calculate the molarity and molality of the solution.

Explanation:

1. Molar concentration

Let's call chloroform C and acetone A.

Molar concentration of C = Moles of C/Litres of solution

(a) Moles of C

Assume 0.187 mol of C.

That takes care of that.

(b) Litres of solution

Then we have 0.813 mol of A.

(i) Mass of each component

(ii) Volume of each component

(iii) Volume of solution

If there is no change of volume on mixing.

V = 15.08 mL + 59.70 mL = 74.78 mL

(c) Molar concentration of C

2. Molal concentration of C

Molal concentration = moles of solute/kilograms of solvent

Moles of C = 0.187 mol

Mass of A = 47.22 g = 0.047 22 kg

where is the following

explanation:

d.) circle motion requires a force to give it a centripetal acceleration.
