Step 1: Define

0.41 mol CaO

2.5 M Solution

Step 2: Identify Conversions

1000 g = 1 kg

Molar Mass of Ca - 40.08 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of CaO - 40.08 + 16.00 = 56.08 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

Step 4: Check

0.024114 kg CaO ≈ 0.024 kg CaO

0.172 Kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Kg of solvent = ?

Moles of solute = 0.43 mol

Molality = 2.5 m

Solution:

Formula:

m = moles / Kg of solvent

by putting values,

2.5 m = 0.43 mol / kg of solvent

Kg of solvent = 0.43 mol / 2.5 m

Kg of solvent = 0.172 Kg
