What is the mass ratio of ethylene glycol (C₂H₆O₂, molar mass = 62 g/mol) required for making 500 g of 0.25 molal aqueous solution and 250 mL of 0.25 molar aqueous solution ?
- (A)1:1
- (B)3:1
- (C)2:1✓ Correct
- (D)1:2
Answer: (C)
Solution
Taking the dilute solution as essentially solvent, a molal solution needs of ethylene glycol, that is . For of molar solution the amount required is , that is . The ratio of the two masses, , is two to one.
