Question -

Calculate (a) molality (b) molarityand (c) mole fraction of KI if the density of 20% (mass/mass)aqueous KI is 1.202 g mL-1.



Answer -

(a) Molarmass of KI = 39 + 127 = 166 g mol−1

20% (mass/mass)aqueous solution of KI means 20 g of KI is present in 100 g of solution.

That is,

20 g of KI is present in (100 −20) g of water = 80 g of water

Therefore,molality of the solution

= 1.506 m

= 1.51 m (approximately)

(b) Itis given that the density of the solution = 1.202 g mL−1

Volume of 100 gsolution 

= 83.19 mL

= 83.19 × 10−3 L

Therefore,molarity of the solution 

= 1.45 M

(c) Molesof KI 
Moles of water
Therefore, mole fraction of KI

= 0.0263
