Automative antifreeze is a 60% weight/weight aqueous solution of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) then its molality is?
Lecturer Chemistry Past Papers and Syllabus / All — Multiple-choice practice
- A. 20 moles/kg
- B. 28 moles/kg
- C. 34 moles/kg
- D. 24.2 moles/kg
Correct answer
24.2 moles/kg
Explanation
Explanation The molar mass of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) = 2(12.01) + 6(1.01) + 2(16.00) = 62.07 g/mol Number of moles of ethylene glycol = 60 g / 62.07 g/mol ≈ 0.966 moles Mass of water = 100 g - 60 g = 40 g Now, we need to convert the mass of water to kilograms: Mass of water = 40 g * (1 kg / 1000 g) = 0.04 kg Now, we can calculate the molality: Molality (m) = moles of solute / mass of solvent in kg Molality = 0.966 moles / 0.04 kg ≈ 24.15 moles/kg.
