Math Problem Statement

calculate the molality

Solution

We already calculated the molality using the formula:

m=ΔTfKf=0.32K1.86K/m0.172mol/kgm = \frac{\Delta T_f}{K_f} = \frac{0.32 \, \text{K}}{1.86 \, \text{K/m}} \approx 0.172 \, \text{mol/kg}

Thus, the molality of the solutes in the solution is approximately 0.172mol/kg0.172 \, \text{mol/kg}. If you need a more detailed explanation or have additional questions, please let me know!

Here are some related questions you might find useful:

  1. What is the difference between molality and molarity, and when is each used?
  2. How does freezing-point depression relate to colligative properties?
  3. How would the calculation change if the solute were an electrolyte that dissociates in solution?
  4. What is the significance of the freezing-point depression constant (KfK_f)?
  5. How can you determine the molar mass of a solute using freezing-point depression?

Tip: Always double-check units when performing calculations involving colligative properties to ensure consistency and accuracy.
