QuestionSolutions / concentration terms

What will be the value of mole fraction of the solute in 1.00 molal aqueous solution?

  1. (a) 1.7700
  2. (b) 1.7770
  3. (c) 0.0180
  4. (d) 0.0344

Answer: (c) 0.0180

1 molal = 1 mol solute in 1000 g water (1000/18 = 55.5 mol). x(solute) = 1/(1 + 55.5) = 0.0177 ≈ 0.018 → (c). Trick: mole fraction must be < 1, so (a) and (b) are out at once.
