JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 16th March Morning Shift - No. 19)

A 6.50 molal solution of KOH (aq.) has a density of 1.89 g cm$$-$$3. The molarity of the solution is ____________ mol dm$$-$$3. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

[Atomic masses : K : 39.0 u; O : 16.0 u; H : 1.0 u]
Answer
9

Explanation

$$m = {{1000 \times M} \over {1000 \times d - M \times {M_{solute}}}}$$

$$6.5 = {{1000 \times M} \over {1890 - M \times 56}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$12285 - 364M = 1000M$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$1364M = 12285$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$M = 9$$
