Q14 / 59 · KVPY 2013 (SA) · Chemistry
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 answerB$0.1$
- 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'.
