Calculate (a) molality (b) molarity and (c) mole fraction of KI if the density of 20% (mass/mass) aqueous KI is 1.202 g mL−1^{-1}.
Solution:  
Given : Let mass of solution in water = 100 g,100\ \text{g}, then mass of KI=20 g\mathrm{KI} = 20\ \text{g}
∴  \therefore\; Mass of solvent (water) 100−20100-20
=80 g=0.080 kg=80\ \text{g}=0.080\ \text{kg}
(a) Calculation of molalityMolar mass of KI=39+127\mathrm{KI}=39+127
=166 g mol−1=166\ \text{g}\ \text{mol}^{-1}
∴  \therefore\; Moles of KI=20 g166 g mol−1\mathrm{KI}=\frac{20\ \text{g}}{166\ \text{g}\ \text{mol}^{-1}}
=0.120=0.120
Molality of solution =Number of moles of KIMass of solvent in kg=\frac{\text{Number of moles of }\mathrm{KI}}{\text{Mass of solvent in }\text{kg}}
=0.120 mol0.080 kg=1.5 mol kg−1=\frac{0.120\ \text{mol}}{0.080\ \text{kg}}=1.5\ \text{mol}\ \text{kg}^{-1}
(b) Calculation of molarity
Density of solution = 1.202 g mL−11.202\ \text{g}\ \text{mL}^{-1}
∴\therefore Volume of solution =100 g1.202 g mL−1=\frac{100\ \text{g}}{1.202\ \text{g}\ \text{mL}^{-1}}
=83.2 mL=0.0832 L=83.2\ \text{mL}=0.0832\ \text{L}
Molarity of solution =Number of moles of soluteVolume of solution in L=\frac{\text{Number of moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in }\text{L}}
=0.120 mole0.0832 L=1.44 M=\frac{0.120\ \text{mole}}{0.0832\ \text{L}}=1.44\ \text{M}
(c) Calculation of mole fraction of KI
No. of moles of KI = 0.120
No. of moles of water =Mass of waterMolar mass of water=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{\text{Molar mass of water}}
=80 g18 g mol−1=4.44=\frac{80\ \text{g}}{18\ \text{g}\ \text{mol}^{-1}}=4.44
Mole fraction of
KI=Number of moles of KITotal number of moles in solution\mathrm{KI}=\frac{\text{Number of moles of }\mathrm{KI}}{\text{Total number of moles in solution}}
=0.1200.120+4.44=0.1204.560=0.0263=\frac{0.120}{0.120+4.44}=\frac{0.120}{4.560}=0.0263
