Concentration of aqueous solutions
Exercise 11
An $35.0\%$ perchloric acid $HClO_4 $ solution S has a volumic mass of $1.251\frac{g}{cm^3}$. Calculate the molarity
Let's take for example $1L$ of S.
$m_S$ $=$ $\%_S\dot V_S$ $=$ $1.251\cdot 1000$ $=$
$1251\;g$
$m_{HClO_4}$ $=$ $\frac{\%_S\cdot m_S}{100}$ $=$ $\frac{35.0 \cdot 1251}{100}$ $=$
$437.9 \;g$
$n_{HClO_4}$ $=$ $\frac{m_{HClO_4}}{M_{HClO_4}}$ $=$ $\frac{437.9}{100.5}$ $=$
$4.36 \;mol$
$c_{HClO_4}$ $=$ $\frac{n_{HClO_4}}{V_S}$ $=$ $\frac{4.36}{1}$ $=$
$4.36 \;M$
