If you have an aqueous solution that is 25.9 % Na3PO4 by mass, what is the molality of Na3PO4 in the solution?
25.9% Na3PO4 by mass means 25.9g of Na3Po4 present in 100g of solution
mass of solute(Na3PO4) = 25.9g
mass of solution = 100g
mass of solvent = mass of solution - mass of solute
= 100-25.9 = 74.1g
gram molar mass of Na3PO4 = 163.94g/mole
molality = mass of solute *1000/gram molar mass of solute * mass of solvent in g
= 25.9*1000/163.94*74.1 = 2.132 m
molality of Na3PO4 = 2.132m >>>>answer
