Answer #1

Part A

Molar mass of KNO3 = 101.1032 g/mol

Mass of KNO3 dissolved in solution= 83.8g

No. of moles of KNO3 dissolved in solution = (83.8g)/ (101.1032 g/mol)

=0.8289 moles

[ using no. of moles= given mass/ molar mass]

Volume of KNO3 solution=2.08 litres

Molarity of solution= No. of moles of solute/ volume of solution in litres

Molarity of KNO3 solution= No. of moles of KNO3 / volume of solution in litres

Molarity of KNO3 solution= 0.8289 moles/2.08 litres

=0.398 moles/litre

= 0.398 M

Part B

Molality of solution= No. of moles of solute/ mass of solvent in kg

Density of solution=1.05g/ml

Volume of solution=2.08 L=2080 ml [using 1 litre= 1000 ml]

Mass of solution= 2080 ml x 1.05g/ml [ using mass = volume x density]

= 2,184 g

  

Mass of KNO3= 83.8 g

Therefore mass of solvent = 2184 g- 83.8 g

= 2100.2 g

= 2.1002 kg

No. of moles of KNO3= 0.8289 moles

Molality of KNO3 solution= No. of moles of KNO3/ mass of solvent in kg

=0.8289 moles/2.1002 kg

= 0.395 moles/kg

=0.395 m

Part C

Mass percent of solution = (Mass of solute/ mass of solution ) x100

Mass of KNO3= 83.8 g

Mass of solution=2,184 g

Therefore, Mass percent of solution = (83.8 g/2,184 g)x 100 %

=3.93%
