The molality of a solution prepared by dissolving \(4 . 0 ~ g ~ N a O H\) in \(1 0 0 0 ~ m L\) distilled water is __________ .
(Assume that the density of water is \(1 ~ g ~ m L ~ m L ^{ 1 }\) )

  1. A \(0.001 mol kg ^{-1}\)
  2. B \(1.0 mol kg ^{-1}\)
  3. C \(0.1 mol L ^{-1}\)
  4. D \(0.1 mol kg ^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.1 mol kg ^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molar mass of NaOH \( = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 ~ g/mol \) Moles of NaOH \( = \frac{4.0 ~ g}{40 ~ g/mol} = 0.1 ~ mol \) Mass of water \( = 1000 ~ mL \times 1 ~ g/mL = 1000 ~ g = 1 ~ kg \) Molality \( = \frac{0.1 ~ mol}{1 ~ kg} = 0.1 ~ mol ~ kg^{-1} \)
