Astudent dissolves 12.g of sucrose c12h22o11 in 300.ml of a solvent with a density of 1.01/gml . the student notices that the volume of the solvent does not change when the sucrose dissolves in it. calculate the molarity and molality of the student's solution. round both of your answers to 2 significant digits.

Answer :  The molarity and molality of the student's solution is, 0.12 mol/L and 0.12 mol/kg respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Density of solvent = 1.01 g/mL

Molar mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mole

Mass of sucrose = 12 g

Volume of solvent = 300 mL

First we have to calculate the mass of solvent.

Now we have to calculate the molarity of solution.

Now we have to calculate the molality.

Therefore, the molarity and molality of the student's solution is, 0.12 mol/L and 0.12 mol/kg respectively.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
