Question
A student dissolves 7.9 g of stilbene (C14H12) in 475. mL of a solvent with a density of 1.03 g/mL. The student notices that the volume of the solvent does not change when the stilbene dissolves in it. Calculate the molarity and morality of the students solution. Round both of your answers to 2 significant digits.

Answer:
Molarity: 0.092M
Molality: 0.090m
Explanation:
Molarity, M, is defined as the moles of solute (In this case, C14H12 -Molar mass: 180.25g/mol-) in 1L of solution.
The molality, m, are moles of solute per kg of solvent.
Molarity:
Moles solute:
7.9g * (1mol/180.25g) = 0.04383 moles
Liters solution:
475mL = 0.475L
Molarity: 0.04383 moles / 0.475L = 0.092M
Molality:
kg solvent:
475mL * (1.03g/mL) = 489.25g = 0.48925kg
Molality:
0.04383 moles / 0.48925kg = 0.090m
