Question
The density of a particular solvent is 5.15g/L with a volume of 3981cm^3. If you add 0.00518kg of salicylic acid (C7O6O3.. solute), to a solvent, what is the molality of the solution? [1L= 1000cm^3] [C7O6O3=138.121g/mol]
Expert Solution
Step 1

Molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. The SI unit for molality is mol/kg.

Molality = moles of solute/kg of Solvent

           m = mol/Kg
