Consider acommericial obtained 86% of concentrated phospouric acid (H3PO4) with specific gravity of 1.71. calculate
a)mole fraction
b)molarity
c)normality(assuming ionization)
To calculate the mole fraction, molarity, and normality of a solution of concentrated phosphoric acid (H3PO4) with a specific gravity of 1.71, we need to consider the concentration of the acid in terms of weight percent (%w/w) or weight/volume percent (%w/v) before making the calculations.
Unfortunately, specific gravity alone does not provide enough information to determine the exact concentration in %w/w or %w/v. Therefore, we cannot directly calculate the mole fraction, molarity, or normality based on the information given.
To find the mole fraction, molarity, and normality, we would need either the actual weight of the acid per volume of solution (in grams per milliliter or grams per liter) or the weight percent concentration (%w/w or %w/v).
