If you dissolve 5.00 kg of methanol (CH_4O) in 2.00 m^3 of water, how many molecules of methanol per liter of water do you have? (1 kg = 1000 g; 1 m^3 = 1000 L)

Respuesta :

Given :

Mass of methanol ( [tex]CH_3OH[/tex] ) , m = 5 kg = 5000 g .

Volume of water , [tex]V=2\ m^3=2000\ L[/tex] .

To Find :

Molecules of methanol per liter of water .

Solution :

Moles of methanol , [tex]n=\dfrac{5000}{32}=156.25\ mol[/tex] .

We know , 1 mole of a substance contains [tex]6.022\times 10^{23}\ mol^{-1}[/tex] .

So , total number of molecules :

[tex]M=156.25\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\\M=9.41\times 10^{25}[/tex]

Number of molecules per liter :

[tex]\dfrac{9.41\times 10^{25}}{2000}\\\\4.705\times 10^{22}[/tex]

Hence , this is the required solution .
