Question:

Equal weights of $NaCl$ and $KCl$ are dissolved separately in equal volumes of solutions. Molarity of the two solutions will be :

Updated On: Jan 30, 2025
  • Equal
  • That of NaCl will be less than that of KCl
  • That of NaCl will be more than that of KCl
  • That of NaCl will be about half of that of KCl solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$M _{ KCl }=39+35.5=74.5$
Equal weight $74.5 g$
$n _{ NaCl }=\frac{74.5}{58.5}=1.27$
$n _{ NaCl }=\frac{74.5}{74.5}=1 mole$
Molarity $=\frac{\text { number of moles }}{ V }$
$=\frac{ n }{1 \text { liter }}$
$n _{ NaCl }> n _{ KCl }: M _{ NaCl }> M _{ KCl }$

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
