Answer:
Molality of the solution is 0.119 mol/kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Molality is the type of concentration that indicates the moles of solute in 1 kg of solvent.
As we assume water's density as 1 g/mL, we need to calculate the mass of water (our solvent).
We convert 0.535 L to mL → 0.535 L = 535 mL
By the way, water's mass is 535 g.
We convert the mass from g to kg → 535 g = 0.535kg
We need to calculate the moles of solute, NaCl.
3.71 g . 1mol / 58.45 g = 0.0635 mol
Molality = mol/kg → 0.0635 mol / 0.535kg = 0.119 m
