Detailed Solution

Weight of solute (urea) dissolved = 3.0 g

Weight of the solvent (water) = 250 g

Molecular weight of the solute = 60

3.0 gm of the solute = 3.060 moles 

                                            = 0.05 moles 

Molality = Number of moles of solute x 1000 g of solvent Weight of solvent

 Molality =3/60250×1000=0.2m

Calculation of mole fraction 

3.0 g of solute = 3/60 moles = 0.05 mole 

250 g of water =25018 moles = 13.94 moles 

 Mole fraction of the solute =0.050.05+13.94=0.0513.99=0.00357
