QJEEM21Che6a9: JEE Main 2021 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM21Che6a9 Solution: 4.5 g of compound A (MW = 90) was used to make 250 mL of its…

4.5 g of compound A (MW = 90) was used to make 250 mL of its aqueous solution. The molarity of the solution in M is x ×\times 10-1.
The value of x is _______. (Rounded off to the nearest integer)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given, weight of compound A = 4.5 g

Molecular weight of compound A = 90 g/mol

Volume of solution (in mL) = 250 mL

Now, molarity is defined as number of moles of solute or compound A divided by volume of solution (in L).

M=Number of moles of solute (n)Volume of solutionM = {{Number\,of\,moles\,of\,solute\,(n)} \over {Volume\,of\,solution}}

=4.5902501000=0.2= {{{{4.5} \over {90}}} \over {{{250} \over {1000}}}} = 0.2 = 2 ×\times 10 −- 1 M

∴\therefore n=Weight of solute (compound A)Molecular weight of solute (compound A)n = {{Weight\,of\,solute\,(compound\,A)} \over {Molecular\,weight\,of\,solute\,(compound\,A)}}

Hence, x ×\times 10 −- 1 μ\mu

x = 2
