Answer to Problem 1TAI
Molarity calculation can be used to identify toxic substance.
Explanation of Solution
From molarity, number of moles of solute present in 1L can be obtained.
Now, mass of the solute can be calculated from number of moles and molar mass as follows:
Here, M.M is molar mass.
Now if this amount is lesser than the observed mass of the solute in a solution, then it is clear that some toxic substance is present in the solution.
