JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3so006
A 2.00M aqueous solution of urea (molar mass 60gmol−1) has density 1.03gmL−1. Its molality is closest to
A2.20m
B2.00m
C2.27m
D1.94m
Answer: A
Take 1L of solution: mass =1030g, urea =2×60=120g, so water =910g. Molality =2.00/0.910=2.20m. Subtracting 120 from 1000 instead of 1030 gives the wrong value 2.27.
