Explanation / Answer

      The molality of thesolution is defined as the number of moles of the solute dissolvedin one kilogram of the solvent.                                  molality= number of moles / 1 kg of solvent                                                =(numberof moles of solute x 1000) / weight of solvent (g)           a) number of moles of benzene = 22.7 / 78 =0.2910                                  molality of the solution = (0.2910 x 1000) / 66.7 = 4.3632m           b) number of moles of formic acid =16.2 / 46 = 0.3521                               molality of the solution = (0.3521 x 1000) / 100                                                                      =3.521m c) number of moles of acetaldehyde = 0.194 /44 =0.0044                         molality of the solution = (0.0044 x 1000) / 25                                                                =0.176364 m
