What is asked?

Calculate the molarity of a 5.86 M ethanol (C2H5OH)

What are the given?

M = 5.86 mol/L density = 0.927 g/mL molar mass of ethanol = 46.071 g/mol

What will you use to solve the problem?

To solve the problem, I use the Concentration Unit - Molality (m) = mol of solute/kg of solvent.

Solution:

I assume the volume of the solution is 1.0 L. I determine the total mass of the solute which is (0.927
g/mL) (1000 mL) = 927 g then determine the mass of the solute (5.86 mol) (46.071 g/mol) = 269.976 g
and determine the mass of the solvent 927 g - 269.976 g = 657.024 g. after that I convert the mass of the
solvent to kg 657.024 g × (1 kg/1000 g) = 0.657024 kg. The molality m=mol of solute/kg of solvent = 5.86
mol/0.657024 kg = 8.919 m ≈ 8.92 m

Yes, I hope so. I carefully read and analyzed the problem and used the appropriate formulas to find the
answer
