Calculate the mass of urea \((NH_2CONH_2)\) required to prepare \(2.5\ kg\) of a \(0.25\ molal\) aqueous solution.

  1. A \(36.95\ g\)
  2. B \(37.5\ g\)
  3. C \(39\ g\)
  4. D \(35.95\ g\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(36.95\ g\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molar mass of urea \( (NH_2CONH_2) \) = \( 2(14.0) + 4(1.0) + 12.0 + 16.0 = 60.0 \text{ g/mol} \) Let \( w_{urea} \) be the mass of urea in grams and \( w_{water} \) be the mass of water in kg. \( \text{Molality} = \frac{\text{moles of urea}}{\text{mass of water (kg)}} \)…
