A 2.300×10−2 m solution of nacl in water is at 20.0∘c. the sample was created by dissolving a sample of nacl in water and then bringing the volume up to 1.000 l. it was determined that the volume of water needed to do this was 999.4 ml . the density of water at 20.0∘c is 0.9982 g/ml.

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Calculate the molality of the salt solution.

Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Explanation:

Molality is defined as the number of moles present in kg of a solvent.

Mathematically,     Molality =

Also,

      Mole of solute = Molarity of solute x Volume of solution

                               = (0.0230 M) x (1.000 L) = 0.0230 mol of solute

Therefore, mass of solvent will be as follows.

                  = 997.7 g

                  = 0.9977 kg        (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

Therefore, we will calculate the molality as follows.

          Molality =

                   = 0.02306 mol/kg

thus, we can conclude that molality of the given solution is 0.02306 mol/kg.
