If the density of a 2 M solution of ethylene glycol in water is 1 . 11 g / ml , the molality (in m ) of the solution is approximately
Options
- A1 . 92
- B1 . 57
- C2 . 02
- D2 . 15
Correct answer
C. 2 . 02
Step-by-step solution
Density of solution = 1 . 11   gml - 1 Molarity of solution = 2 M Density is the amount of x   g of solution in 1000 ml of solution. Mass of solution = density   × volume = 1 . 11 × 1000 = 1110 g Molality is equal to the number of moles of solute present in 1000   g of solution. Number of moles of solute = 2   mole Molar mass of ethylene glycol= 62   g / mol Mass of solute = Mole × molar   mass = 2 × 62 = 124   g Mass of the solvent = 1110 - 124 = 986 g Mo
