The weight percent of sucrose (formula weight $\left.=342 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right)$ in an aqueous solution is $3.42$. The density of the solution is $1 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mL}^{-1}$, the concentration of sucrose in the solution in $\mathrm{mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}$ is

  • A
    $0.01$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $0.1$
  • C
    $1.0$
  • D
    $10$

Solution

$3.42 \mathrm{~gm}$ sacrose in $100 \mathrm{~gm}$ solution $\mathrm{d}=1 \mathrm{~gm} \mathrm{~ml}^{-1}$ $\because \mathrm{d}=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { volume }}$ volume of solution $=\frac{100}{1}=100 \mathrm{~ml}$ Molarity $=\frac{\mathrm{n}}{\mathrm{v}} \times 1000$ Molarity $=\frac{3.42}{342 \times 100} \times 1000=0.1$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
