Chemistry Question on Solutions
In one molal solution that contains 0.5 mole of a solute, there is
A
500 mL of solvent
B
500 g of solvent
C
100 mL of solvent
D
1000 g of solvent
Answer
500 g of solvent
Explanation
Solution
m = (Moles of solute/Mass of solvent(kg))
1 molal = (0.5/w of solvent in (kg))
w of solvent in (kg) = 0.5/1 = 0.5 kg = 500 g
