Question
22. Glycerol, C3H8O3, is a substance used extensively in the manufacture of cosmetics, foodstuffs, antifreeze, and plastics. Glycerol is a water-soluble liquid with a density of 1.2656 g/mL at 15 0C. Calculate the molarity of a solution of glycerol made by dissolving 50.000 mL glycerol at 15 0C in enough water to make 250.00 mL of solution. Show work.

Answer:
2.75M
Explanation:
Density = mass/volume
Density of glycerol (C3H8O3) at 15°C is given as 1.2656 g/mL.
Volume of glycerol at this same temperature before dissolving in water = 50mL
Hence, using Density = mass/volume
1.2656 = mass/50
mass = 1.2656g/mL × 50mL
mass = 63.28g
Molarity of solution = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)
Volume of glycerol dissolved in water = 250mL = 0.250L
number of moles = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of C3H8O3 = 12(3) + 1(8) + 16(3)
= 36 + 8 + 48
= 44 + 48
= 92g/mol
n = 63.28g ÷ 92g/mol
n = 0.688mol
* Molarity = n/V
Molarity = 0.688/0.250
Molarity = 2.75M
