Answer:
LiCl = 0.492 m
Explanation:
Molal concentration is the one that indicates the moles of solute that are contained in 1kg of solvent.
Our solute is lithium chloride, LiCl.
Our solvent is distilled water.
We do not have the mass of water, but we know the volume, so we should apply density to determine mass.
Density = mass / volume
Density . volume = mass
1 g/mL . 19.7 mL = 19.7 g
We convert g to kg → 19.7 g . 1 kg / 1000g = 0.0197 kg
Let's determine the moles of LiCl
0.411 g . 1 mol / 42.394 g = 9.69×10⁻³ moles
Molal concentration (m) = 9.69×10⁻³ mol / 0.0197 kg → 0.492 m
