25.0 g of HCl is added to 100.0 g of water. The density of the resulting solution is 1.19 g/mL. Calculate the molality of

Respuesta :

Answer:

The molality is "6.86 m".

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of of HCL,

= 25 g

Mass of water,

= 100 g

Density,

= 1.19 g/mL

Total mass of solution,

= 125 g

Now,

The number of moles of HCl will be:

= [tex]\frac{25}{36.458}[/tex]

= [tex]0.6857[/tex]

The solution volume will be:

= [tex]\frac{125}{1.19}[/tex]

= [tex]105.04 \ mL[/tex]

hence,

The molality will be:

= [tex]\frac{No. \ of \ moles \ of \ solute}{Mass \ of \ solvent (Kg)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{0.6857}{0.1}[/tex]

= [tex]6.857 \ m[/tex]

or,

= [tex]6.86 \ m[/tex]
