40.0 g of a solute is dissolved in 500. mL of a solvent to give a solution with a volume of 515 mL. The solvent has a density of 1.00 g/mL. Which statement about this solution is correct? A.The molarity and molality cannot be compared without knowing the solute. B.The molarity is lower than the molality. C.The molarity is greater than the molality. D.The molarity and molality cannot be compared without knowing the density of the solution as well. E.The molarity is the same as the molality.

Consider the molar mass of solute be Mm. The mass of solvent in 500 mL is 500 g. Thus, the molality…

Answered: 40.0 g of a solute is dissolved in 500.…
