An aqueous solution of NaCl is marked 10% (w/w). If the density of the solution is 1.071 gmL-1, what is the molality?
A.
1.85 M
B.
1.90 M
C.
1.95 M
D.
2.0 M
Molality -
Molality (m) = (number of moles of solute)/(mass of solvent in kg)
- wherein
It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in 1 kg of solvent. It is denoted by m.
Weight of salute = 10g
Moles of salute =10/58.5 (Weight/Molecular weight)
Weight of solvent = 90 g
Molality=(10*1000)/(58.5*90)=1.90m
