   Q.The mole fraction of a solute in $2.0$ molal aqueous solution is : (A) $1.87$ (B) $0.347$ (C) $0.0347$ (D) $0.00347$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   A 2.0 molal solution means 2 moles of solute in 1 kg of water. Convert the solvent mass to moles, then apply the mole fraction formula: $\chi_{\text{solute}} = \frac{n_{\text{solute}}}{n_{\text{solute}} + n_{\text{solvent}}}$. The answer is $\boxed{0.0347}$.

   Molality is defined as moles of solute per kilogram of solvent, not per kilogram of solution. This distinction matters because we need to count the moles of both solute and solvent separately to find the mole fraction.

   When we say a solution is 2.0 molal, we're saying there are 2.0 moles of solute dissolved in exactly 1000 g (1 kg) of water. The mole fraction then asks: what fraction of the total number of particles (molecules) in the solution comes from the solute?

   Let me work through the calculation systematically.

   1. Identify what we know from "2.0 molal aqueous solution"

   The molality $m = 2.0$ tells us:

   • Moles of solute: $n_{\text{solute}} = 2.0 \text{ mol}$
   • Mass of water (solvent): $1000 \text{ g}$

   2. Convert the mass of water to moles

   Water has a molar mass of $18 \text{ g/mol}$, so:

   $n_{\text{water}} = \frac{1000 \text{ g}}{18 \text{ g/mol}} = 55.56 \text{ mol}$

   3. Calculate the total moles in the solution

   $n_{\text{total}} = n_{\text{solute}} + n_{\text{water}} = 2.0 + 55.56 = 57.56 \text{ mol}$

   4. Apply the mole fraction formula

   The mole fraction of solute is:

   $\chi_{\text{solute}} = \frac{n_{\text{solute}}}{n_{\text{total}}} = \frac{2.0}{57.56} = 0.03474$ …

   Q.34.2 g of sugar is present in 234.2 g of its aqueous solution. Then its molal concentration is

   (a) 0.1

   (b) 0.5

   (c) 5.5

   (d) 55.0

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Moles of sugar = 34.2/342 = 0.1; mass of solvent (water) = 234.2 - 34.2 = 200 g = 0.2 kg; molality = 0.1/0.2 = 0.5 m.

   Molar mass of sugar (sucrose) = 342 g/mol.

   Dilution does not change the number of moles of solute, so M1V1 (before) = M2V2 (after).

   Given: M1 = 0.5 M, V1 = 30 mL, final volume V2 = 50 mL.

   (a) 0.1 molar

   (b) 1 molar

   (c) 10 molar

   (d) 100 molar

   Molarity is defined as moles of solute per litre of solution; dividing the given amount of solute by the solution volume gives 0.1 M.

   Molarity is defined as:

   $M = \dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution in litres}}$

   Note: as printed, the question states the solute quantity as '10 kg mass'; for the arithmetic to match any of the given options (0.1, 1, 10, 100 M) the intended quantity is 10 moles of solute (a common wording/printing slip in this recurring question, where 'kg' should read 'mol') - with n …
