Calculate the molality of 25 g of ethanoic acid \(CH(_3\)\(\mathrm{COOH}\)) in 250 g benzene

  1. A \(16.64 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(1.664 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(166.4 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(6.64 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.664 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M_{CH_3COOH} = 2(12.01) + 4(1.01) + 2(16.00) = 60.06 \, \mathrm{g/mol}\) \(n = \frac{25 \, \mathrm{g}}{60.06 \, \mathrm{g/mol}} = 0.41625 \, \mathrm{mol}\) \(m = \frac{0.41625 \, \mathrm{mol}}{0.250 \, \mathrm{kg}} = 1.665 \, \mathrm{mol/kg}\)
