Molality (m) of 3 M aqueous solution of NaCl is: (Given: Density of solution = 1.25 g mL-1, Molar mass in g mol-1: Na - 23, Cl - 35.5) [2024]
(2)
3M aqueous NaCl means:
3 mol NaCl in 1000 mL solution
3×58.5 g=175.5 g NaCl in 1.25 g mL-1×1000 mL-1250 g solution
3 mol NaCl in (1250-175.5) g=1074.5 g=1.074 kg solution
m=nsoluteVsolvent (in kg)=31.0745 m=2.79 m
