JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2020 - 3rd September Evening Slot - No. 16)

The strengths of 5.6 volume hydrogen peroxide (of density 1 g/mL) in terms of mass percentage and molarity (M), respectively, are: (Take molar mass of hydrogen peroxide as 34 g/mol)
0.85 and 0.5
0.85 and 0.25
1.7 and 0.25
1.7 and 0.5

Explanation

Volume strength = 11.2 × molarity

$$ \Rightarrow $$ molarity = $${{5.6} \over {11.2}}$$ = 0.5

Assuming 1 litre solution,

mass of solution = 1000 ml × 1 g/ml = 1000 g

mass of solute = moles × molar mass

= 0.5 mol × 34 g/mol

= 17 gm.

$$ \therefore $$ mass % =
mass of solute
mass of solution
$$ \times $$ 100

= $${{17} \over {1000}} \times 100$$ = 1.7 %
