An aqueous sodium acetate, NaC2H3O2 , solution is made by dissolving 0.395 mol NaC2H3O2 in 0.505 kg of water. Calculate the mola

liq [111]

Answer: The molality of $NaC_2H_3O_2$ solution is 0.782 m

Explanation:

Molality is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per kilogram of solvent. The units of molarity are mol/kg. The formula used to calculate molality:

$\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent (in kg)}}$ .....(1)
