what is per cent by mass of Na2CO3 in a 1.0 molal aqueous solution ?

The percentage mass of sodium carbonate has been 9.6%. Thus, option B is correct.
The molality can be defined as the moles of solute in 1000 grams of solvent.
The given molality is 1m.
So, 1 mole of Sodium carbonate has been present in 1000 grams of solvent.
The molecular mass of sodium carbonate is 106 grams.
1 mole sodium carbonate = 106 grams.
So, 106 grams of solute has been present in 1000 grams of solvent.
The percent mass can be given by:
Percent mass = [tex]\rm \dfrac{Mass\;of\;solute}{Mass\;of\;solution}\;\times\;100[/tex]
Mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent
Mass of solution = 106 grams + 1000 grams
Mass of solution = 1106 grams.
Percent mass of Sodium carbonate = [tex]\rm \dfrac{106}{1106}\;\times\;100[/tex]
Percent mass of sodium carbonate = 9.584 %
Percent mass of sodium carbonate = 9.6%
The percentage mass of sodium carbonate has been 9.6%. Thus, option B is correct.
