Household hydrogen peroxide is an aqueous solution containing 3.0% hydrogen peroxide by mass. What is the molarity of this solution? (Assume a density of 1.01 g>mL.)

Respuesta :

Answer: Molarity of this solution is 0.88 M

Explanation:

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of solution.

Formula used :

[tex]Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}[/tex]

where,

Given : 3.0 g of hydrogen peroxide is present in 100 g of solution.

n = moles of solute = [tex]\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{3.0g}{34g/mol}=0.088mol[/tex]

[tex]V_s[/tex] = volume of solution in ml= [tex]\frac{\text {mass of solutuion}}{\text {density of solution}}=\frac{100g}{1.01g/ml}=99.0ml[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

[tex]Molarity=\frac{0.088moles\times 1000}{99.0ml}=0.88mole/L[/tex]

Thus molarity of this solution is 0.88 M
