The molality of a solute in a solvent (m...

The molality of a solute in a solvent (molar mass, `20g mol^(-1))` is `0.1 mol kg^(-1)`.
What is the mole fraction of the solute?

A

`0.1/50`

B

`0.1/50.1`

C

`0.1/(20+0.1)`

D

`0.1/20`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
A `0.1 m` solution contains `0.1` mole of solution in every `1 kg (1000 g)` of solvent. Since solution is a homogenous mixture, we can consider any size of solution to calculate its concentration. Let's pick an arbitray amount of the solvent that will make the calculations easy, say `1000 g`. Thus
`n_(solute)=0.1`
`n_(solvent)=(mass_(solvent))/(molar mass_(solvent))`
`=(1000 g)/(20 g mol^(-1))=50 mol`
Now `chi_(solute)=n_(solute)/(n_(solute)+n_(solvent))`
`=0.1/(0.1+50)`
`=0.1/50.1`

    The concentrations of soluitons can be expressed in number of ways , viz : mass fraction of solute (or mass percent), Molar concentration (Molarity ) and Molal concentration (molality). These terms are known as concentration terms and also they are related with each otehr i.e., knowing one concentration terms for the solution, we can find other concentration terms also. the definition of different cencentration terms are given below: Molarity : It is number of moles of solute present in one litre of the solution. Molality : It is the number of moles of solute present in one kg of the solvent. Mole fraction =("Mole of solute")/("Moles of solute" + "Moles of solvent") If molality of the solution is given as a, then mole fraction of the solute can be calculated by Mole Fraction =(a)/(a+(100)/(M_("solvent"))),=(axxM_("solvent"))/((a xx M_("solvent")+1000)0 where a=molality and M_("solvent") =Molar mass of solvent We can change : Mole fraction hArr Molality hArr Molarity What is the mole fraction of the solute?
