The density of many aqueous solutions is approximately the same as water: 1.00g/mL. For these solutions, molarity is ____ molality.
Answer choices: greater than, the same as or less than
answer : the same as
explanation :
for a probelm : let is take one problem as an example
a. 2.89 g of NaCl dissolved in 0.159 L of water (density of water is 1.00 g/mL)
molarity = moles / volume
=( 2.89 / 58.5 ) x 1 / 0.159
= 0.311 M
molality = moles / mass of solvent
= ( 2.89 / 58.5 ) x 1 / 0.159 kg
= 0.311 m
