This question has 2 parts I figured out the answer to the first problem but don't understand the second part of the question... Please help and show answer and work thanks!
Question #1
A solution is prepared by dissolving 25.0 g of sucrose (C12H22O11) in 377 g of H2O. What is the molar mass of sucrose?
Answer- 342. g
Second part of question
What is the molality of m of that solution? answer in units of m. (this is the part I don't understand.)
Molality is a property of a solution and is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Here , number of moles of sucrose = 25g/ 342 g/mol = 0.073 moles
Mass of Solvent H2O = 377g
Solvent in Kilograms = 0.377 kg
So, Molality = number of moles of solute/ kilogram of solvent
= 0.073 mole/ 0.377 kg
= 0.1936 mole/kg
= 0.1936 m
