the electrolyte in automobile lead storage batteries is a 3.75 sulfuric acid solution that has density of 1.230g/mL. calculate the mole fraction.

Sagot :

ardni313

The mole fraction of sulfuric acid : 0.073

Further explanation

Given

3.75 M sulfuric acid solution that has density of 1.230 g/mL

Required

The mole fraction

Solution

3.75 M = 3.75 mol/L

For 1 L solution :

mass of solution = 1230 g

mass Sulfuric acid : 3.75 mol x 98 g/mol=367.5 g

mass water = 1230-367.5 = 862.5 g

mol water = 862.5 : 18 g/mol= 47.92

mol total = 3.75 + 47.92 = 51.67

mole fraction of sulfuric acid :

= 3.75 : 51.67

= 0.073
