JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2012 - No. 2)

The density of a solution prepared by dissolving 120 g of urea (mol. Mass = 60 u ) in 1000g of water is 1.15 g/mL. The molarity of this solution is :
0.50 M
1.78 M
1.02 M
2.05 M

Explanation

We know molarity (M) = $${{no\,of\,moles\,of\,solute} \over {volume\,of\,solution\,in\,litre}}$$

Moles of solute = $${{120} \over {60}}$$ = 2

Mass of solution = 1000 + 120 = 1120 gm

Density of solution = 1.15 g/mL

$$\therefore$$ volume of solution = $${{1120} \over {1.15}}$$ = 973.9 mL = $${{973.9} \over {1000}}$$ litre = 0.9739 litre

$$\therefore$$ M = $${2 \over {0.9739}}$$ = 2.05
