A 2.450×10−2 m solution of nacl in water is at 20.0∘c. the sample was created by dissolving a sample of nacl in water and then bringing the volume up to 1.000 l. it was determined that the volume of water needed to do this was 999.3 ml . the density of water at 20.0∘c is 0.9982 g/ml. part a calculate the molality of the salt solution. express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Respuesta :

Answer:The molality of the given solution is 0.0245 mol/kg.

Explanation:

Let the dissolved or given mass of the NaCl = x grams

Final volume of water(solvent) after creating the sample = 1.000 L

[tex]Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{\text{Molar mass of NaCl}\times \text{Volume of solvent in liters}}[/tex]

[tex]2.450\times 10^{-2} mol/L=\frac{x grams}{58.44 g/mol\times 1.000 L}[/tex]

x = 1.4317 g

The density of water at 20 C = 0.998 g/mL

[tex]Density=\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume of water}}=0.998 g/mL=\frac{\text{mass of the water}}{1.000\times 1000 mL}[/tex]

1 L = 1000 mL

Mass of the water(solvent) = 988 g = 0.988 kg(1 kg=1000 g)

[tex]Molality=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{\text{Molar mass of NaCl}\times \text{weight of the solvent in kg}}[/tex]

[tex]Molality=\frac{1.4317 g}{58.44 g/mol\times 0.998 kg}=0.0245 mol/kg[/tex]

The molality of the given solution is 0.0245 mol/kg.

Answer : The molality of the given solution is 0.02453 mole/kg.

Solution :

First we have to calculate the mass of NaCl (solute).

[tex]Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{\text{Molar mass of NaCl}\times \text{Volume of solution in liters}}[/tex]

[tex]2.450\times 10^{-2}mole/L=\frac{\text{Molar mass of NaCl}}{58.44g/mole\times 1.000 L}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Molar mass of NaCl}=1.43g[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the mass of water (solvent).

[tex]Density=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{\text{Volume of water}}[/tex]

[tex]0.9982g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of the water}}{999.3mL}[/tex]

Mass of the water (solvent) = 997.5 g

Now we have to calculate the molality of solution.

[tex]Molality=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{\text{Molar mass of NaCl}\times \text{weight of the solvent in kg}}[/tex]

[tex]Molality=\frac{1.43g\times 1000}{58.44g/mol\times 997.5Kg}=0.02453mol/kg[/tex]

Therefore, the molality of the given solution is 0.02453 mole/kg.
