The given information is not enough to determine the molarity of the solution. In summary, the conversation is discussing the calculation of the molarity of a 70% solution of TBHP using given values of density and formula weight. The correct calculation cannot be determined without knowing if the 70% is weight/weight or weight/volume.

Homework Statement


What is the Molarity of 70% TBHP?


Homework Equations


Given: d=.937g/ml, FW=90.12g , w/w%?


The Attempt at a Solution


1000mL x (0.937g/mL) x (1mol/90.12g) = 10.4M

That is what I got but idk what to do with the 70% or that w/w%
or is that right the way I did it?

"Molarity of 70%" means .7 times one molarity. Do you know what a one molarity solution would be?
 
  • #3
So this is what I came up with now:

1000mL x (0.937g/mL) x (.7) x (1mol/90.12g) = 7.28mol/L

Is this correct now?

If they are asking the molarity and they have given you density, then it is definitely w/w%

No, in this context it means molarity of 70% solution of TBHP, 70% being most likely w/w.
 

1. What is the definition of molarity?

Molarity is a unit of concentration that measures the number of moles of a solute dissolved in one liter of a solution.

2. How is molarity calculated?

Molarity is calculated by dividing the number of moles of solute by the volume of the solution in liters.

3. What does the percentage in "70% TBHP" refer to?

The percentage in "70% TBHP" refers to the concentration of the chemical TBHP (tert-butyl hydroperoxide) in the solution. It means that 70% of the solution is made up of TBHP.

4. What is the molarity of a 70% TBHP solution?

The molarity of a 70% TBHP solution depends on the density and molecular weight of TBHP. Without this information, it is not possible to accurately determine the molarity of the solution.

5. Why is it important to know the molarity of a solution?

The molarity of a solution is important because it helps to determine the amount of solute present in a given volume of the solution. This information is crucial for conducting experiments and calculating reaction rates and concentrations.
