If 11.2 g of naphthalene, C10H8, is dissolved in 107.8 g of chloroform, CHCl3, what is the molality of the solution?

a. 0.811m
b. 0.0941 m
c.12.4 m
d. 0.0875 m
e. 0.0969m

Answer :

Answer: 0.811m

Explanation: Molarity is the moles of solute present per kg of solvent.

Molar mass of C10H8 = . 128.17 g/mol

No. of moles = given mass/molar mass

11.2g C10H8 = 11.2/128.17 g/mol C10H8

= 0.0874 mol C10H8

NOW 107.8g solvent (chloroform) contains 0.0879 molecules (naphthalene)

1000g   ''    will contain (0.0879/107.8 x 1000) mole solute

= 0.811 mole

Molarity of the solution is 0.811 m (option A)
