A. Question Explanation:
We're given the mole fraction of a solute in an aqueous solution and need to calculate the
molality of the solution. Molality is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of
solvent. 1

B. Given Data:

A. Mole fraction of solute (xsolute) = 0.2

B. Solvent is water (aqueous solution)

C. Concept:

A. Mole fraction

B. Molality

D. Mathematical Calculation:

A. Moles of solute: Assume we have 1 mole of solution. Then, moles of solute = xsolute ×
total moles = 0.2 × 1 = 0.2 moles.

B. Moles of solvent: Moles of solvent = 1 - xsolute = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 moles.

C. Mass of solvent: The solvent is water. The molar mass of water is approximately 18
g/mol. Mass of water = moles of water × molar mass of water = 0.8 moles × 18 g/mol =
14.4 g = 0.0144 kg.

D. Molality: Molality (m) = moles of solute / mass of solvent (in kg) = 0.2 moles / 0.0144 kg
≈ 13.88 mol/kg

E. Final Answer:
The molality of the solution is approximately 13.88 m. So, option 1 is correct.

32)

Molality = × = 0.2m

33) N =

∵ Equivalent of NH4OH =

Volume of solution = litre


∴ N= ⋍ 0.07

18M means, 18 moles of solute in 1 L of solution


density of soln = 1.8 g/m3
Mass of soln = 1000 ml × 1.8 g/ml

given the number of moles of NaOH and the volume of the solution.

B. Volume of solution = 10 L

C. Concept: Molarity (M) is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per litre of
solution:

Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution

D. Mathematical Calculation:
Molarity = 0.1 mol / 10 L = 0.01 mol/L = 0.01 M.

Final Answer: The molarity of the NaOH solution is 0.01 M. Therefore, option 2 is correct.

• Molar Mass:
Formula:
• Mass = Mass/ Molar Mass
Solution:
1. Calculate the percentage of oxygen (O):
° Total percentage = 100%
° %O = 100% - (%C + %H)
° %O = 100% - (38.71% + 9.67%)
° %O = 100% - 48.38 %
° %O = 51.62%
2. Assume a 100g sample:
° This means the percentages are numerically equal to the masses in grams.
° Mass of C = 38.71 g
° Mass of H = 9.67 g
° Mass of O = 51.62 g
3. Calculate moles of each element:
° Moles of C = 38.71 g/ 12.01 g/mol = 3.223 mol
° Moles of H = 9.67 g/1.008 g/mol = 9.693 mol
° Moles of O = 51.62 g/ 16.00 g/mol = 3.226 mol
4. Find the simplest mole ratio:
° Divide each mole value by the smallest mole value (3.223 mol):
• C: 3.223/3.223 = 1
• H 9.593/3.223 = 2.976 3
• O: 3.226/3.223 = 1.001 1
