MCQ
What would be the molality of $20\%$ (mass/mass) aqueous solution of $KI$ ? (molar mass of $KI = 166\, g\, mol^{-1}$)
  • A
    $1.08$
  • B
    $1.48$
  • $1.51$
  • D
    $1.35$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$1.51$
c
$20\%\,w/w\,KI$

Mass of solute $(KI) = 20\,g$

Mass of solvent $= 100-20 = 80\,g$

Molar mass of $KI = 38+128 = 166$

Molality $ = \frac{{gm\,(solute)}}{{mw\, \times Kg\,(solvent)}} = \frac{{20 \times 1000}}{{166 \times 80}} = 1.506 = 1.51$
