Answer: The molarity of glacial acetic acid is 0.175 M

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of acetic acid, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}[/tex]

Density of acetic acid = 1.05 g/mL

Volume of acetic acid = 5.00 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]1.05g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of acetic acid}}{5.00mL}\\\\\text{Mass of acetic acid}=(1.05g/mL\times 5.00mL)=5.25g[/tex]

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}[/tex]

We are given:

Mass of solute (acetic acid) = 5.25 g

Molar mass of acetic acid = 60.052 g/mol

Volume of solution = 500.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{5.25g\times 1000}{60.052g/mol\times 500.0mL}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.175M[/tex]

Hence, the molarity of glacial acetic acid is 0.175 M
