Dissolving 120 g of a compound of (mol. wt. 60) in 1000 g of water gave a solution of density 1.12 g/mL. The molarity of the solution is :
1.00 M
2.00 M
2.50 M
4.00 M
We have given, density of solution = 1.12g/ml
Therefore, total volume of solution =
Now, total moles of solute =
Molarity is given as
Molarity = (Moles of solute) / volume (L)
Thus, moles = 2 and volume = 1L
Therefore, molarity = 2 / 1
= 2M
Therefore, Option (2) is correct
