How do you calculate molality?

How do I calculate the Molality of a water solution?

  • Answer:

    For this question, I would use the freezing point depression equation: ΔTf = -(i)(kf)(m) where, ΔTf = change in temperature i = 1 (in this case - see Van Holf Factor) kf = is a given value that's normally found in a table in your textbook = 1.86 for water m = mol solute/ kg solvent(H2O) = molality So, water normally freezes at 0 °C... (-9.3-0) = -(1)(1.86)(m) m = 5 mol solute/ kgH2O
