Question 8 • Chemistry

The molality of a solution that is made by dissolving a certain mass of benzene in 20 point 6 g of carbon tetrachloride is 0 point 5 2 9 m How many moles of benzene were dissolved? Use molality is equal to moles of solute over kilograms of solvent

Answer
A
25 point 7 mol
B
0 point 0 1 0 9 mol
C
0 point 0 3 8 9 mol
D
10 point 9 mol

Explanation

Molality equals moles of solute divided by kilograms of solvent, so moles of benzene = molality × kilograms of carbon tetrachloride. Convert 20.6 g to 0.0206 kg, then calculate 0.529 mol/kg × 0.0206 kg = 0.0109 mol. Therefore, the answer is 0.0109 mol of benzene.
