    Mass Molarity
AI Thread Summary
To find the molarity of acetic acid (CH3COOH) with a mass percentage of 99.7% and a density of 1.05 g/ml, first calculate the mass of the solution using the density formula (d = m/v). After determining the mass, convert it to moles by dividing by the molar mass (60.05 g/mol). Finally, apply the molarity formula (M = n/v) to find the concentration in moles per liter. This process ensures accurate calculation of molarity based on the given data. Understanding these steps is crucial for precise chemical analysis.

i need to find the molarity of acetic acid from this data:

CH3COOH (molar mass 60.05) (% by mass: 99.7) (density: 1.05 g/ml)

how do i do it??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Find out the mass in grams of 99.7 % of the compound and d = m/v and M = n/v. Hope that helps.
 
One more thing that I want to add to the previous post is that after you find the mass you should convert it to moles and apply it to the molarity formula.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
