Solution

The correct option is A 2.27
Given,
Density=1.017gmL1
Molecular Mass=60
Molarity=2.03M

Molarity=2.03M means 2.03 moles in 1L of solution.

n=Given MassMolar Mass

2.03=Given Mass60

2.03×60=121.8g

121.8g of acetic acid in water.

Density=1.017gmL11mLofsolution1.017ofsolution

1000mLofsolution1017gofsolution

Mass of solution = Mass of solvent + Mass of solute

1017g = Mass of solvent + 121.8g

1017121.8g = Mass of solvent

895.2g = Mass of solvent

Molality=no. of molesMass of solvent(kg)=2.03895.2×103kg=2.267m
