Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of water required to dissolve $\text{12}\text{.7}\text{g}$ of iron $\left(\text{III}\right)$ chloride to produce a $\text{0}\text{.172}\text{m}$ solution is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Molality is defined as the measure of concentration of moles of solute in a solution. It is calculated by dividing the number of moles of solute by the weight of solvent in $\text{Kg}$. It is expressed by the formula shown below.

$\text{Molality}=\frac{\text{Number}\text{of}\text{moles}\text{of}\text{solute}}{\text{Weight}\text{of}\text{solvent}\text{in}\text{Kg}}$
