(Round off to the Nearest integer)
[Use : Atomic masses : Na 23.0 u O: 16.0 u H: 1.0 u Density of : 1.0 g cm]
(Round off to the Nearest integer)
[Use : Atomic masses : Na 23.0 u O: 16.0 u H: 1.0 u Density of : 1.0 g cm]
Answer: 5
Solution
Assume 1 L (1000 cm³) of solution.
Mass of solution = g
Let the solution be molal, meaning moles NaOH per 1000 g water.
Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol
Mass of NaOH = g
Mass of water = 1000 g
Total mass = g
Solving: , so m.
The molality is 5 m.
