Most important point about
equivalents
Equivalent and milliequivalents of
reactants reacts in equal number to
give same number of equivalents or
milliequivalents of products separately.
Example:

Equivalents of BaCl2 = �0.1 = 2 x 10–3
1000

Molality
Moles of solute
m=
Mass of solvent
Solution:
1 molar solution means 1 mole of solute present per
litre of solution.
Therefore, mass of 1 litre solution = 1000 x 1.04
= 1040 gram
Mass of solute = 1 x 40 = 40g
Therefore, mass of solvent 1040 – 40 = 1000g

Illustrative Problem
Calculate the concentration of 1 molal
solution of NaOH in terms of percentage
by mass.
Solution:
1 molal solution means 1 mole (or 40g) NaOH present
in 1000g of solvent.
Solution: 2
21% oxygen by volume means 21 ml oxygen is
present in 100 ml of solution.
1,000 ml of solution will contain 210 ml.
Since at STP 22,400 ml of gas = 1 mole,
210
\ 210 ml of oxygen = = 0.0093 mole
22400
Hence, answer is (d)
