Molality is used to express concentration and it is:
molality = moles of solvent / kilogram solution

Now, lets assume there is one mole of solution. Then, there will be 0.245 moles of KBr and 0.755 moles of water. We multiply these molar fractions with the substances' molar masses to find the weight of one mole of solution.

Weight of one mole of solution = 0.245 * 119 + 0.755 * 18
Weight = 42.74 grams

Converting this weight to kilograms, this is 0.043 kg. We now multiply the moles of KBr by the kilograms of solution to find the molality:

molality = 0.245 / 0.043

The molality of the solution is 5.70 moles per kg

Determine the number of atoms of each element in the empirical formula of a compound with the following composition:
34kurt
To determine the empirical formula of the compound, we assume a basis of 100 g of this compound. We calculate as follows:

C = 68.75 g
H = 10.90 g
O = 20.35 g

We convert these mass to moles,
C = 68.75 g / 12.01 g/mol = 5.72 mol
H = 10.90 g / 1.01 g/mol = 10.79 mol
O = 20.35 g / 16 g/mol = 1.27 mol

C = 5.72 mol / 1.27 mol = 5
H = 10.79 mol / 1.27 mol = 8
O = 1.27 mol / 1.27 mol = 1
