Solution
The correct option is B6.2m 68% (wv)H2SO4=68gH2SO4 in 100mL solution.
i.e., 680gH2SO4 in 1000mL solution.
Mass of solution = volume × density =1000mL×1.80g/mL =1800g
Mass of solvent = 1800–680=1120g
Again, Molar mass of H2SO4=2×1+32+16×4=98g
Number of moles of solute, MassMolar mass=68098=6.94 mol
Molality: =No. of moles of soluteMass of solvent in kg=(6.94×1000)1120=6.2m
