Measures of Concentration: Molality and Other Calculations — Quiz

Question 2 • Chemistry

Given that the density of water is 0 point 9 7 5 g over mL and that 171 g of sucrose (molar mass: 342 point 3 0 g over mol ) is dissolved in 512 point 8 5 milliliters of water at 80 times degree C , what is the molality of this solution? Use molality is equal to moles of solute over kilograms of solvent

Answer
A
1 point 0 0 m
B
0 point 3 3 3 m
C
0 point 3 2 5 m
D
0 point 9 7 5 m

Explanation

First find the moles of sucrose: 171 g ÷ 342.30 g/mol ≈ 0.500 mol. Convert the water volume to mass using its density: 512.85 mL × 0.975 g/mL ≈ 500.03 g = 0.50003 kg. Molality is 0.500 mol ÷ 0.50003 kg ≈ 1.00 m, so the correct choice is A, 1.00 m.
