14.8 g of a salt (z)dissolved in 250 cm3 of distilled water gives a concentration of 0.80 mol dm-3. Calculate the molar mass of the salt (z).
A. 13.5 g mol-1 B. 18.5 g mol-1 C. 47.4 g mol-1 D. 74.0 g mol-1
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
250cm3 of distilled water contains 14.8g of salt(z) 1cm3 of distilled water will contain of salt (z) :. 1000cm3 of distilled water will contain = 59.2g/dm3of salt (z) Concentration in mol/dm3 = \(\frac{concentration in g/dm3}{molar mass} 0.80 = molar mass = = 74.0 g/mol
