(a)
Interpretation: The molality of solution should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:The molality of solution is defined as number of moles of solute in 1 kg of solvent.
It is mathematically represented as follows:
Here, n is number of moles of solute and M is mass of solvent.
From the mass, number of moles can be calculated as follows:
Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.

- Sodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly used to melt ice on roads during the winter. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is sometimes used for this purpose too. Let us compare the effectiveness of equal masses of these two compounds in lowering the freezing point of water, by calculating the freezing point depression of solutions containing 200. g of each salt in 1.00 kg of water. (An advantage of CaCl2 is that it acts more quickly because it is hygroscopic, that is. it absorbs moisture from the air to give a solution and begin the process. A disadvantage is that this compound is more costly.)arrow_forwardWater at 25 C has a density of 0.997 g/cm3. Calculate the molality and molarity of pure water at this temperature.arrow_forwardA 12.0-g sample of a nonelectrolyte is dissolved in 80.0 g of water. The solution freezes at -1.94 C. Calculate the molar mass of the substance.arrow_forward
- What is the usual solubility behavior of an ionic compound in water when the temperature is raised? Give an example of an exception to this behavior.arrow_forwardDistinguish between dispersion methods and condensation methods for preparing colloidal systems.arrow_forwardThe freezing point of 0.109 m aqueous formic acid is 0.210C. Formic acid, HCHO2, is partially dissociated according to the equation HCHO2(aq)H+(aq)+CHO2(aq) Calculate the percentage of HCHO2 molecules that are dissociated, assuming the equation for the freezing-point depression holds for the total concentration of molecules and ions in the solution.arrow_forward
- What would be the freezing point of a solution formed by adding 1.0 mole of glucose (a molecular compound) to the following amounts of water? a. 250 g (0.25 kg) b. 500 g (0.500 kg) c. 1000 g (1.000 kg) d. 2000 g (2.000 kg)arrow_forwardVodka is advertised to be 80 proof. That means that the ethanol (C2H5OH) concentration is 40% (two significant figures) by volume. Assuming the density of the solution to be 1.0 g/mL, what is the freezing point of vodka? The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL.arrow_forward
