The mole fraction of a solvent in aqueous solution of a solute is...

The mole fraction of a solvent in aqueous solution of a solute is 0.8.0.8 . The molality (in mol kg−1{kg}^{- 1} ) of the aqueous solution is:

Options

  1. A13.88×10−313.88 \times {10}^{- 3}
  2. B13.88×10−113.88 \times {10}^{- 1}
  3. C13.8813.88
  4. D13.88×10−213.88 \times {10}^{- 2}

Correct answer

C. 13.8813.88

Step-by-step solution

Since mole fraction of solvent is 0.8,0.8, it implies that 10moles10moles of aqueous solution will have 88 moles of water and 22 moles of solute.

∴2moles∴ 2moles of solute is present in →8moles\to 8moles of water
