\(450 \mathrm{mg}\) of glucose is dissolved in \(100 \mathrm{~g}\) of solvent. What is the molality of solution?

  1. A \(0.0025 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(0.025 \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(0.25 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(2.5 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.025 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molality \(=\frac{\text { moles of solute } \times 1000}{\text { weight of solvent (in g) }}\)
Or \(=\frac{\text { weight of solute } \times 1000}{\text { mol. wt of solute } \times \text { weight of solvent (in g) }}\)
\(
=\frac{450 \times 10^{-3} \times 1000}{180 \times 100}
\)
\([\because\) Mol. mass of glucose \(=180]\)
\(=0.025 \mathrm{~m}\)
