Detailed Solution

Mole fraction of solute X2=0.2. Therefore, mole fraction of solvent X1=0.8

Or n2n1+n2=0.2 and n1n1+n2=0.8

Or n2n1=0.20.8=14

Now, if n1 (solvent moles) = 1000/78 = 12.8 moles 

n2=12.8/4=3.2 moles. Therefore, 3.2 moles of the compound are present in one kg of solvent benzene and so molality = 3.2.

                                                                                   OR

Mole fraction of solute =  mm+1000Molecular weight of solvent                           0.2   = mm+100078                     0.2 = mm+12.82                       m = 0.2m+ 12.82×0.2                       m = 3.2
