Theobromine is a bitter alkaloid of cacao plant. It is found in chocolate, leaves of tea plant and cola nut. How many grams of theobromine (C7H8N4O2) should be dissolved in 375g water to make 3.75 m theobromine solution?

Sagot :

✏️MOLALITY

[tex]\tt{\huge{\green{Solution:}}}[/tex]

The problem asks to solve for the mass of solute (theobromine). First, we need to identify the quantities to be used. These are

m = molality

mass = mass of solute

n = number of moles of solute

MW = molecular weight of solute

[tex]\text{kg}_{solv} =[/tex] kilograms of solvent

Second, we need to identify the given values. These are

m = 3.75 m

[tex]\text{kg}_{solv} =[/tex] 0.375 kg

(Note: 375 g is converted to 0.375 kg according to the definition of molality.)

Third, we need to find the number of moles of solute. The number of moles of solute is

[tex]n = m(kg_{solv})[/tex]

[tex]n = (3.75 \: m)(\text{0.375 kg})[/tex]

n = 1.40625 mol

Fourth, we need to find the molecular weight of solute. The molecular weight of solute is

MW = 7(12.01 g/mol) + 8(1.008 g/mol) + 4(14.01 g/mol) + 2(16.00 g/mol)

MW = 180.17 g/mol

Finally, we can now solve for the mass of solute Therefore, the mass of solute (theobromine) is

mass = n(MW)

mass = (1.40625 mol)(180.17 g/mol)

[tex]\boxed{\text{mass = 253 g}}[/tex]
