Question 12 • Chemistry

Calculate the molality of a solution that is made up of 250 g of water and 20 point 0 g of NaOH Use molality is equal to moles of solute over kilograms of solvent

Answer
A
12 m
B
0 point 0 8 0 m
C
1 point 6 m
D
2 point 0 m

Explanation

NaOH has a molar mass of about 40.0 g/mol, so 20.0 g is 20.0 ÷ 40.0 = 0.500 mol. The 250 g of water is 0.250 kg. Molality = 0.500 mol ÷ 0.250 kg = 2.0 m, so the answer is A) 2.0 m.
