Important Questions on Solutions



What volume (in ) of alcohol by weight must be used to prepare of alcohol by weight ?


The concentrations of solutions can be expressed in number of ways; viz : mass fraction of solute (or mass percent), Molar concentration (Molarity) and Molal concentration (molality). These terms are known as concentration terms and also they are related with each other i.e., knowing one concentration term for the solution, we can find other concentration terms also. The definition of different concentration terms are given below:
Molarity : It is the number of moles of solute present in one litre of the solution.
Molality: It is the number of moles of solute present in one kg of the solvent.
Mole Fraction =
If molality of the solution is given as a, then mole fraction of the solute can be calculated by
where a = molality and Msolvent = Molar mass of solvent.
We can change : Mole fraction Molality Molarity
120 gm of solution containing 40% by mass of NaCl is mixed with 200 gm of a solution containing 15% by mass NaCl. Determine the mass percent of sodium chloride in the final solution.
