Title: how to calculate the molality of a solid solution (alloy for example)
Post by: cell_491 on April 24, 2005, 08:39:01 PM

heres an exmple of the type of problem im stumped on
what is the molality of a solid solution containing .125g of chromium and 81.3g of iron?
(the answer is .0296m but i have to show work and i dont know how to do it  ???)

First things first.

Molarity is moles/volume

Have you manipulated your given information into something that has units of either volume or moles?

nvm i figured it out the equation is .125g/52g/(81.3g/1000)= .0296m
