Molality of the solution is defined as the number of moles of a substance dissolved divided by the mass of the solvent:
Molality = number of moles / solvent mass
From the concentration of 39% (by mass) of HCl in water, we construct the following reasoning:
in 100 g solution we have 39 g hydrochloric acid (HCl)
number of moles = mass / molecular weight
number of moles of HCl = 39 / 36.5 = 1.07 moles
solvent (water) mass = solution mass - hydrochloric acid mass
solvent (water) mass = 100 - 39 = 61 g
Now we can determine the molality:
molality = 1.07 moles / 61 g = 0.018
<u>Answer:</u> The value of <em>i</em> is 1.4 and 40% dissociation of 100 particles of zinc sulfate will yield 60 undissociated particles.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The equation used to calculate the Vant' Hoff factor in dissociation follows:

where,
= degree of dissociation = 40% = 0.40
i = Vant' Hoff factor
n = number of ions dissociated = 2
Putting values in above equation, we get:

The equation used to calculate the degee of dissociation follows:

Total number of particles taken = 100
Degree of dissociation = 40% = 0.40
Putting values in above equation, we get:

This means that 40 particles are dissociated and 60 particles remain undissociated in the solution.
Hence, 40% dissociation of 100 particles of zinc sulfate will yield 60 undissociated particles.
i think its theory but im not to sure
