You make 1.000 L of an aqueous solution that contains 35.0 g of sucrose (C12H22O11).

A) What is the molarity of sucrose in this solution? (I got 0.102 M for Part A) I just can't figure out part B.

B) How many liters of water would you have to add to this solution to reduce the molarity you calculated in Part A by a factor of two?

Answer:

For A: The molarity of sucrose solution is 0.102 M

For B: The volume of water that would be added to the solution is 2 liters

Explanation:

  • For A:

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

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

Given mass of sucrose = 35.0 g

Molar mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol

Volume of solution = 1.000 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{35}{342.3\times 1}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.102M[/tex]

Hence, the molarity of sucrose solution is 0.102 M

  • For B:

To calculate the volume of the diluted solution, we use the equation:

[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2[/tex]

where,

[tex]M_1\text{ and }V_1[/tex] are the molarity and volume of the concentrated sucrose solution

[tex]M_2\text{ and }V_2[/tex] are the molarity and volume of diluted sucrose solution

We are given:

[tex]M_1=0.102M\\V_1=1L\\M_2=\frac{0.102}{2}=0.051M\\V_2=?L[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]0.102\times 1=0.051\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{0.102\times 1}{0.051}=2L[/tex]

Hence, the volume of water that would be added to the solution is 2 liters
