What is the molality of a solution containing 19.5g HCl and 257g of H2O?

M= 2.06

molality is m = moles/kg

if you look at the periodic table the mass of HCl is 36.458 rounded to 36.5

divide the 19.5g by the mass (36.5) and you’ll get 0.53

next, you convert g to kg so you divide by 1,000. 257/1,000 = 0.257

you plug those two answers into the equation > m= 0.53 mol HCl/ 0.257kg H20

the answer will be 2.06 when you divide and there’s how you get the molality.

remember, HCl is the solute and H20 is the solvent.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element on the periodic table..hope it .
