The concentration of a benzene solution prepared by mixing 12.0 g
C6H6 with 38.0 g CCl4 is __________ molal


Sagot :

Answer: The concentration of a benzene solution is 4.05 molal

Explanation:

Molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per kg of the solvent.

[tex]Molality=\frac{n\times 1000}{W_s}[/tex]

where,

n = moles of solute

[tex]W_s[/tex] = weight of solvent in g

moles of [tex]C_6H_6[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{12.0g}{78g/mol}=0.154mol[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

[tex]molality=\frac{0.154\times 1000}{38.0g}=4.05[/tex]  

Therefore, the concentration of a benzene solution is 4.05 molal
