A20.0 % by mass solution of phosphoric acid (h3po4) in water has a density of 1.114 g/ml at 20°c. what is the molarity of this solution?

Molarity is 2.272M

Explanation:

The mass % of phosphoric acid is 20.0%

It means in 100 g of solution there is 20g of phosphoric acid in it.

Molarity = moles of solute dissolved per litre of solution.

So we need volume of solution

Volume can be calculated from mass and density as

Volume = mass / Density = 100/1.114 = 89.77 mL = 0.08977 L

Moles of solute = mass of solute / molar mass of solute

moles of solute = 20g / 98 = 0.204

molarity =
