Question

What is the molality of sodium chloride in solution that is 13.0% by mass sodium chloride and that has a density of 1.10 g/ml?

Answer 1

Answer is: molality od sodium chloride is 2,55 mol/kg.
V(solution) = 100 ml.
m(solution) = d(solution) · V(solution).
m(solution) = 1,10 g/ml · 100 ml.
m(solution) = 110 g.
ω(NaCl) = 13,0% = 0,13.
m(NaCl) = ω(NaCl) · m(solution).
m(NaCl) = 0,13 · 110 g.
m(NaCl) = 14,3 g.
n(NaCl) = m(NaCl) ÷ M(NaCl).
n(NaCl) = 14,3 g ÷ 58,5 g/mol.
n(NaCl) = 0,244 mol.
m(H₂O) = 110 g - 14,3 g.
m(H₂O) = 95,7 g = 0,0957 kg.
b(NaCl) = n(NaCl) ÷ m(H₂O).
b(NaCl) = 0,244 mol ÷ 0,0957 kg.
b(NaCl) = 2,55 mol/kg.
