Calculate the molality of a solution containing 141.5 g of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) dissolved in 4.456 kg of H2O

0.423 m.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 141.5 g

Mass of water = 4.456 kg

Molality =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 141.5 g of glycine (NH2CH2COOH.

This is illustrated below:

Mass of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 141.5 g

Molar mass of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 14 + (2x1) + 12 + (2x1) + 12 + 16 + 16 + 1 = 75 g/mol

Mole of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 141.5/75

Mole of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 1.887 moles

Finally, we shall determine the molality of the solution as follow:

Molality is simply defined as the mole of solute per kilogram of water. Mathematically it is expressed as:

Molality = mole / mass (kg) of water

With the above formula, we can obtain the molality of the solution as follow:

Mole of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 1.887 moles

Mass of water = 4.456 kg

Molality =.?

Molality = mole /mass (kg) of water

Molality =1.887/4.456

Molality = 0.423 m

Therefore, the molality of the solution is 0.423 m

6.4 cm (max) - 25 cm (min)
