Hello, in this question we want to calculate molality.
00:07
Molality is abbreviated with a lowercase m and it is defined as moles of solute dissolved per kilogram of the solvent.
00:24
So remember solute is what is dissolved, solvent is the substance doing the dissolving.
00:30
So in this question we have 18 grams of glucose and we are dissolving that into 125 .9 grams of h2o, our solvent.
00:51
Okay so as we look at this we do not have molality currently because molality needs moles in the numerator and kilograms in the denominator.
01:01
So let's go ahead and work on these conversions just focusing on one at a time.
01:06
So focusing first on the numerator i need to get to moles of the glucose.
01:12
Well we can do that by using molar mass.
01:16
So adding together the mass of 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 6 oxygen we get 180 grams of the glucose.
01:25
Okay there are that many grams in one mole.
01:36
So grams will cancel and now we have moles of solute per gram of solvent.
01:43
We need to convert that denominator now from grams to kilograms and we know there are 1000 grams in one kilogram...
