Q.

The density of 1 M solution of compound ‘X’ is 1.25 g mL-1. The correct option for the molality of solution is

(Molar mass of compound, X = 85 g mol-1)                              [2023]

1 0.705 m  
2 1.208 m  
3 1.165 m  
4 0.858 m  

Ans.

(4)

m=1000×M1000×d-(MMw)

Here, M = molarity of the solution, d = density of solution, Mw = molar mass of the solute.

m=1000×1(1000×1.25)-(1×85)=10001165=0.858m
