Answer:
0.423 m.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 141.5 g
Mass of water = 4.456 kg
Molality =.?
Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 141.5 g of glycine (NH2CH2COOH.
This is illustrated below:
Mass of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 141.5 g
Molar mass of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 14 + (2x1) + 12 + (2x1) + 12 + 16 + 16 + 1 = 75 g/mol
Mole of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) =.?
Mole = mass /Molar mass
Mole of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 141.5/75
Mole of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 1.887 moles
Finally, we shall determine the molality of the solution as follow:
Molality is simply defined as the mole of solute per kilogram of water. Mathematically it is expressed as:
Molality = mole / mass (kg) of water
With the above formula, we can obtain the molality of the solution as follow:
Mole of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 1.887 moles
Mass of water = 4.456 kg
Molality =.?
Molality = mole /mass (kg) of water
Molality =1.887/4.456
Molality = 0.423 m
Therefore, the molality of the solution is 0.423 m
