JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 9th April Evening Slot - No. 9)

What would be the molality of 20% (mass/ mass) aqueous solution of KI?
(molar mass of KI = 166 g mol–1)
1.51
1.35
1.08
1.48

Explanation

20% (mass/ mass) aqueous solution means,

100 g solution contains 20 g KI

$$ \therefore $$ Mass of solvent = 100 – 20 = 80 g

So, 20 g of KI present in 80 g of solvent.

$$ \therefore $$ $${{20} \over {166}}$$ moles of KI present in 80 g of solvent.

We know,

Molality (m) = $${{no\,of\,moles\,of\,solute} \over {wt(in\,kg)\,of\,solvent}}$$

$$ \therefore $$ m = $${{{{20} \over {166}}} \over {{{80} \over {1000}}}}$$ = 1.51
