Molality is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 kg of solvent.
molality of solution to be prepared is 0.50 molal
this means that in 1000 g of water there should be 0.50 mol of NaCl
if 1000 g of water should contain - 0.50 mol
then 750.0 g of water requires - 0.50 mol/kg x 0.750 kg = 0.375 mol
mass of NaCl in 0.375 mol - 58.5 g/mol x 0.375 mol = 21.9 g
therefore a mass of 21.9 g of NaCl is required
It's an alkali metal so one, they sit on the very first of the column in the periodic table :DDDD
I need more characters but it is b
