Correct answer: 64

  1. Understand molality

A 100100100 molal aqueous solution means:

m=100=moles of solutemass of solvent in kgm = 100 = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}}m=100=mass of solvent in kgmoles of solute​

So, for convenience, take 111 kg of water as solvent.

Then,

moles of solute=100\text{moles of solute} = 100moles of solute=100

  1. Find moles of water

Molar mass of water:

MH2O=2(1)+16=18 g mol−1M_{\mathrm{H_2O}} = 2(1) + 16 = 18\ \text{g mol}^{-1}MH2​O​=2(1)+16=18 g mol−1

Mass of water taken:

1 kg=1000 g1\ \text{kg} = 1000\ \text{g}1 kg=1000 g

Hence moles of water:

nH2O=100018=55.56n_{\mathrm{H_2O}} = \frac{1000}{18} = 55.56nH2​O​=181000​=55.56

  1. Calculate mole fraction of solute

Let mole fraction of solute be xxx.

x=nsolutensolute+nH2Ox = \frac{n_{\text{solute}}}{n_{\text{solute}} + n_{\mathrm{H_2O}}}x=nsolute​+nH2​O​nsolute​​

Substitute values:

x=100100+55.56x = \frac{100}{100 + 55.56}x=100+55.56100​

x=100155.56≈0.6429x = \frac{100}{155.56} \approx 0.6429x=155.56100​≈0.6429

  1. Match with required format

We need to write mole fraction as:

‾×10−2\underline{\hspace{2cm}} \times 10^{-2}​×10−2

Now,

0.6429=64.29×10−20.6429 = 64.29 \times 10^{-2}0.6429=64.29×10−2

Rounded to nearest integer:

646464

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Derived answer = 646464

Stored correct answer = 646464

They match.
