Answer:
Molarity → 0.17 M
Molality → 0.11 m
Explanation:
The student notices that the volume of the solvent does not change when the sucrose dissolves in it; therefore we assume the volume of solvent as solution.
Molarity = Mol of solute/L
Let's calculate the mol of solute (mass / molar mass)
12 g / 342 g/mol = 0.0351 moles
Let's conver the volume (mL) to L
300 mL / 1000 = 0.3 L
Molarity (mol/L) = 0.0351 mol / 0.3L → 0.17 M
Molality = mol of solute / 1kg of solvent.
Let's find out the mass of solvent with the density
Solvent density = Solvent mass / Solvent volume
1.01 g/mL = Solvent mass / 300 mL
1.01 g/mL . 300 mL = Solvent mass →303 g
Let's convert the mass to kg
303 g / 1000 = 0.303 kg
Molality (mol/kg) → 0.0351 mol / 0.303kg = 0.11 m
