To interconvert the concentration units molality (m) and mass percent, you must also know the density of the solution. A) True B) False

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is option false.

Explanation:

Molality of the solution defined as moles of substance present in 1 kilogram of   solvent.

Moles = [tex]\frac{Mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}}[/tex]

[tex]Molality=\frac{Moles}{\text{Mass of solvent(kg)}}[/tex]

Mass of percent (w/w%) of the solution is defined as amount of solute present in 100 grams of solution.

[tex](w/w\%)_=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100[/tex]

So, if want to inter-convert molality into mass percent we can do that without knowing density of solution.

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent
