Explanation / Answer

1.a)

Mass of Sucrose =150 gms

Molecular weight of sucrose (C12H22O11)= 12*12+ 22*1+ 16*11= 144+ 22+ 176 =342

Moles of sucrose =150/342 = 0.438596 gmoles

Molarity is defined as no of moles of solute ( in this case sucrose ) in 1 liter of solution

250 ml is there is 0.439596 gmoles

1000ml is there is 0.439856*1000/250=1.754M

b) .

Volume of methanol =125 ml and density= 0.792 g/ml

Mass of methanol = volume * density= 125 *0.792 gms= 99 gms, moles of methanol (CH3OH)= mass/molecular weight

=99/(12+3+16+1)= 99/32= 3.09375 gmoles

Molar concentration = moles/ volume = 3.09375/15 =0.20625 gmoles/liter

c)

Molarity of NaOH solution =0.4 M =0.4moles/liter

Moles in 250 ml = 0.4*250/1000=0.1 moles

Grams of Sodium hydroxide in 250ml =0.1*molecular weight =0.1*40=4 gms

d)

1ppb= 1mg/1000ml

Lead in 15 mg =15mg/1000L

Atomic weight of lead = 207

Moles of lead in 15mg =15*10-3g/207=7.246*10-5 moles

Molarity= moles of pb/liter of solution = 7.246X10-5/1000 M =7.246*10-8M

e)

Moles of sucrose in 0.423M in 250ml =(250/1000)*0.423=0.10575 moles

Let the volume of sucrose be V

V* 0.650 =0.10575

V=0.10575/0.65 =0.162liter or 162 ml

f)

100ml of 0.3 M AlCl3 corresponds to 0.3*100/1000 =0.03 moles

Moles of Cl- =3*moles of AlCl3= 3*0.03=0.09moles

On similar lines moles of Cl- in MgCl2 = 0.6*(50/1000)*2 =0.06 moles and

Moles of Cl- in NaCl =(200/1000)*0.4 =0.08 moles

AlCl3 contains largest number of chloride ions (0.09 moles
