Asolution is prepared by dissolving 17.75 g sulfuric acid, h2so4, in enough water to make 100.0 ml of solution. if the density of the solution is 1.1094 g/ml, what is the molality?

The molality of solution is 1.94 m.

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of sulfuric acid = 17.75 grams

Volume of solution = 100 mL

Density of solution = 1.1094 g/mL

To calculate the mass of solution, we use the equation:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Mass of solvent = Mass of solution - Mass of solute

Mass of solvent = 110.94 - 17.75 = 93.19 g

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

Where,

= Given mass of solute = 17.75 g

= Molar mass of solute = 98 g/mol

= Mass of solvent = 93.19 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the molality of solution is 1.94 m.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
