Detailed Solution
Mole fraction of solute X2=0.2. Therefore, mole fraction of solvent X1=0.8Or n2n1+n2=0.2 and n1n1+n2=0.8Or n2n1=0.20.8=14Now, 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. ORMole 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
