- #30Calculate
the amount of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH)
required for preparing 250 mL of 0.15 M solution in methanol.Ans : 0.15 M solution of
benzoic acid in methanol means,
1000 mL of solution
contains 0.15 mol of benzoic acid
Therefore, 250 mL of
solution contains =
mol of benzoic acid
= 0.0375 mol of
benzoic acid
Molar
mass of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH)
= 7 × 12 + 6 × 1 + 2 × 16
=
122 g mol-1
Hence, required benzoic
acid = 0.0375 mol × 122 g mol-1
= 4.575 g
