Calculate the mass of urea (NH2CONH2) required in making 2.5 kg of 0.25 molalaqueous solution.



Answer -

Molar mass of urea (NH2CONH2) = 2(1 × 14 + 2 × 1) + 1 × 12 + 1 × 16

= 60 g mol−1

0.25 molar aqueous solution of urea means:

1000 g ofwater contains 0.25 mol = (0.25 × 60)g of urea

= 15 g ofurea

That is,

(1000 + 15) g of solution contains 15 g of urea

Therefore,2.5 kg (2500 g) of solution contains 

= 36.95 g

= 37 g of urea (approximately)

Hence, mass of urea required = 37g
