Question : 8
Total: 53
An antifreeze solution is prepared from 222.6 g of ethylene glycol,C2H4(OH)2 and 200 g of water. Calculate the molality of the solution. If the density of the solution is 1.072 g mL1, then what shall be the molarity of the solution?
Solution:  
Mass of the solute, C2H4(OH)2=222.6g
Molar mass of solute, C2H4( OH)2=62 g mol1
Moles of the solute =
222.6 g
62 g mol1
=3.59

Mass of the solvent =200g=0.200kg
Volume of solution =
422.6
1.072 g mL1
=394.2 mL
=0.3942L
