A solution is prepared by dissolving 31.9 g cesium chloride in 60.0 g water. The volume of the solution is 63.3 mL. Calculate the molality of the CsCl solution.

Respuesta :

Answer: The molality of the CsCl solution is 3.2 m.

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

moles of solute =[tex]\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{31.9g}{168.36g/mol}=0.19moles[/tex]

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

[tex]W_s[/tex] = weight of solvent (water) in g  = 60.0 g

Molality =[tex]\frac{0.19\times 1000}{60}=3.2mol/kg[/tex]

Thus molality of the CsCl solution is 3.2 m.
