Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\text{2.274 mol/L}}[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]b = \dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{kilograms of solvent}}[/tex]

Assume 1 kg water.

1. Moles of P.HCl

Then we have 4.666 mol of P.HCl

2. Mass of P.HCl

n = 4.666 mol × 272.77 g/mol = 1271.1 g

3. Total mass of solution

m = 1000 g + 1271.1 g = 2271.1 g solution

4. Volume of solution

[tex]V = \text{2271.1 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mL}}{\text{1.1066 g}} = \text{2052.3 mL} = \text{2.0523 L}[/tex]

5. Molar concentration  

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}c & = & \dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{litres of solution}}\\\\c & = & \dfrac{\text{4.666 mol}}{\text{2.0523 L}}\\\\ & = & \text{2.274 mol/L}\\\end{array}\\[/tex]

[tex]\text{The molar concentration of the solution is} \boxed{\textbf{2.274 mol/L}}[/tex]

The molarity of the solution is 2.272 mol/L

The molarity of a solution can be defined as the dissolution of the number of moles of solute divided by the 1 liter of the solution.

Given that:

the number of moles of Procaine hydrochloride = 4.666 moles

The relation for determining the number of moles = mass/molar mass

mass = no of moles × molar mass

mass = 4.666 mol × 272.77 g/mol

mass of Procaine hydrochloride = 1272.75 g

The total mass of the solution in a 1000 gram solution will be:

= 1272.75 g + 1000 g

= 2272.75  g of solution

The volume of the solution can now be estimated as:

[tex]\mathbf{V = \dfrac{2272.75 \ g }{1.1066 \ g/mL}}[/tex]

V = 2053.81 mL

V = 2.0538 L

The molarity(molar concentration C) of the solution can be computed as follows:

[tex]\mathbf{C = \dfrac{moles \ of \ solute}{solution (L)}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C = \dfrac{4.666 \ mol}{2.0538 \ L}}[/tex]

C = 2.272 mol/L

Therefore, we can conclude that the molarity of the solution is 2.272 mol/L
