If you have 2 moles of iron chloride (fecl3) and dissolve it in water to a final volume of 1l of water, what is the molarity and osmolarity of the solution?.

Respuesta :

What is molarity?

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

M = n / V

where

n = no of moles ( 2 mol)

M = Molarity ?

V = volume of solution ( 1 itre)

M = n / V

  = 2 mol / 1 litre

  = 2 mol/L

What is Osmolarity?

  • It is a process of measurement of solute concentration.
  • It is number of osmoles (Osm) of solute per litre (L) of solution (osmol/L or Osm/L).
  • It  is usually written as Osm/L. This resultant number is of higher importance as it allows measurement of the osmotic pressure of a solution and determination of how the solvent will diffuse across a semi-permeable membrane separating two solutions of different osmotic concentration.

Osmolarity =  Molarity × number of particles of dissociation (n)

  • For ex: Sodium chloride(NaCl) in water dissociates into two particles (Na+ and Cl–) and
  • Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) in water dissociates into 3 particles (Mg++ and 2 Cl–)

according to question, FeCl₃ = 1 Fe + 3Cl ,  where n = 4

Osmolarity = molarity × n

                  = 2 ×4

                  = 8 osmol / L
