At 20°C, a 0.756 M aqueous solution of ammonium chloride has a density of 1.0107 g/mL. What is the mass % of ammonium chloride in the solution? The formula weight of NH4Cl is 53.50 g/mol.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing that the molarity is measured in molal units which are mole per liter of solution and the by-mass percentage demands us to compute the mass of the solution, we proceed by assuming 1 L of solution:

Then, for 1 L of solution, we have 0.756 moles of solute (ammonium chloride), so we compute the grams for those moles by using its molar mass of 53.491 g/mol as shown below:

Finally, we compute the by-mass percentage as shown below:

Best regards.

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 , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between 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 molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
