Calculate the molality of C2H5OH in a water solution that is prepared by mixing 50.0 mL of C2H5OH with 112.7 mL of H2O at 20°C. The density of the C2H5OH is 0.789 g/mL at 20°C. (Assume the density of water at this temperature is 1.00 g/mL.)

    C C2H5OH = 7.598 molal

    Explanation:

    molality (m) C2H5OH = n C2H5OH / Kg H2O

    ∴ V C2H5OH = 50.0 mL

    ∴ V H2O = 112.7 mL

    ∴ T = 20 °C

    ∴ δ C2H5OH (20°C) = 0.789 g/mL

    ∴ δ H2O (20°C) = 1.00 g/mL

    ∴ Mw C2H5OH = 46.0684 g/mol

    ⇒ n C2H5OH = (50.0 mL) * (0.789 g/mL) * (mol/46.0684 g) = 0.8563 mol

    ⇒ mass H2O = (112.7 mL) * (1.00 g/mL) * (Kg / 1000 g) = 0.1127 Kg

    ⇒ C C2H5OH = 0.8563 mol C2H5OH / 0.1127 Kg H2O

    ⇒ C C2H5OH = 7.598 molal
