Assuming that seawater is a 3.50 mass % aqueous solution of nacl, what is the molality of seawater?

Hey there!

Consider 100 g of solution:

Mass of NaCl = 3.50% of mass of seawater

( 3.50 / 100 ) * 100 => 3.50 g

Number of moles as shown below:

Molar mass NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

n = Mass / molar mass

n = 3.50 / 58.44 => 0.059 moles of NaCl

Mass of sweater:

Mass of solution -  Mass of NaCl

100 -  3.50 = 96.5 g

96.5 g in Kg :

96.5 / 1000 => 0.0965 Kg

Therefore ,calculate molality  by using  the  following formula:

molality =  number of moles  of solute / mass of solution

molality = 0.059 / 0.0965

molality = 0.61 m

Hope That helps!

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.

if it's not useful, feel free to report for mistake in answer.
