How do i find molality and mass precent given molarity and density?
« on: September 22, 2010, 10:51:32 PM »
An aqueous KNO3 solution is made using 87.8g of KNO3 diluted to a total solution volume of 1.60L.

Molarity =0.543M
calculate molality and mass precent (density =1.05g/mL)

i don't even know where to begin.

What can you learn from the Molarity = 0.543M, density, and the total solution volume?

It can help if you express the units of all the terms present.

Molarity = mol/L
Density = g/ml (or Kg/L)
Molality = mol/kg (mols solute/kg solvent)
Mass percent =  g/g %

So to calculate the molality you will need to know the mols of KNO3 and the mass of solvent (not the total mass).
