Explanation / Answer

1) molality = moles of solute / mass of solvent in kg

   Given that moles of LiI = 4 .0 mol

              Since density of water is 1 g/mL,

           mass of water = 1000 g = 1 kg

Hence,

   molality = moles of LiI / mass of water in kg = 0.4 mol/1 kg = 0.4 m

Therefore, resulting molality = 0.4 m

2)   molality = moles of solute / mass of solvent in kg

   molality = ( mass / molar mass) x (1/ mass of solvent in kg)

          Given that molality = 0.25 m

                     mass of solvent methanol = 1000 g = 1kg

                molar mass of NH3 = 17 g/mol

   Then,

molality = ( mass of NH3/ molar mass of NH3) x (1/ mass of solvent in kg)

0.25 m = ( mass of NH3/ 17 g/mol) x ( 1/1 kg)

mass of NH3 = 4.25 g

   Therefore,

    mass of NH3 to be dissolved = 4.25 g
