Calculate the mass of a non-volatile sol | Class 12 Chemistry Chapter Solutions, Solutions NCERT Solutions

Question:

Calculate the molecular mass of the following:
(i) H2O
(ii) CO2
(iii) CH4

Answer:

Molecules are made up of atoms & are  quite small, therefore the actual mass of a molecule cannot be detrmined.It is expressed as the relative mass.C-12 isotope is used to express the relative molecular masses of substances.Thus  molecular mass of a substance may be defined as: the average relative mass of its molecule as compared to the mass of carbon atom taken as 12 amu.

(i) H2O:

The molecular mass of water, H2O

= (2 × Atomic mass of hydrogen) + (1 × Atomic mass of oxygen)

= [2(1.0084) + 1(16.00 u)]

= 2.016 u + 16.00 u

= 18.016

= 18.02 u

(ii) CO2:

The molecular mass of carbon dioxide, CO2

= (1 × Atomic mass of carbon) + (2 × Atomic mass of oxygen)

= [1(12.011 u) + 2 (16.00 u)]

= 12.011 u + 32.00 u

= 44.01 u

(iii) CH4:

The molecular mass of methane, CH4

= (1 × Atomic mass of carbon) + (4 × Atomic mass of hydrogen)

= [1(12.011 u) + 4 (1.008 u)]

= 12.011 u + 4.032 u

= 16.043 u

For the answer to be 10 , it should be equated with X of solute i.e. ((w1/M1)/(w1/M1)+(w2/M2))

The answer is wrong ....the correct answer should be done like given below if vapour pressure of pure liquid is = Po 80 % of pure liquid Ps= 80×Po/100 = 0.8Po Ps =Po × Xsolute mass of solute = x gram mass of solvent = 114g Molar mass of solute= 40 g/mol Molar mass of solvent (octane C8H18) = 114g/mol Number of moles of solute = x/40 = 0.025x Number of moles of solvent = 114/114= 1 moles Mole fraction of solvent = 1/(1+0.025x) 0.8Po=Po×1/(1+0.025x) Cross multiply we get (1+0.025x))0.8Po= Po Divide by 0.8 Po we get 1+0.025x = 1.25 Subtract 1 both side we get 0.025x = 0.25 Now divide by 0.025 we get x = 10g
