If the density of a \(5 \mathrm{M}\) solution of \(\mathrm{KCl}\) is \(1.26 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mL}^{-1}\), then find the molality of the solution. (molecular mass of \(\mathrm{KCl}\) \(=74.55 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(0.74 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(1.26 \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(7.45 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(3.38 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3.38 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

5 molar solution means there are 5 moles of \(\mathrm{KCl}\) salt in \(1 \mathrm{~L}\). Molecular weight of \(\mathrm{KCl}=74.55 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) Hence, there are \(5 \times 74.55 \mathrm{~g}\) in \(1 \mathrm{~L}\) of water…
