    A. 11.1%

    B. 0.0291

    C. 1.57 M

    D. 1.67 m

    Explanation:

    A.

    Mass of KCl (solute) : 28.0 g

    Mass of water (solvent) : 225 g

    Mass of solution: 28.0 g + 225 g = 253 g

    The mass percent of KCl is:

    %KCl = (mass of KCl/mass of solution) * 100%

    %KCl = (28.0 g/253 g) * 100%

    %KCl = 11.1%

    B.

    The molar mass of KCl is 74.55 g/mol. The moles of KCl are:

    28.0 g * (1 mol/74.55 g) = 0.376 mol

    The molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol. The moles of water are:

    225 g * (1 mol/18.02 g) = 12.5 mol

    The total number of moles is 0.376 mol + 12.5 mol = 12.9 mol.

    The mole fraction of KCl is:

    X (KCl) = moles of KCl / total moles

    X (KCl) = 0.376 mol / 12.9 mol

    X (KCl) = 0.0291

    C.

    The volume of the solution is 239 mL (0.239 L).

    The molarity of KCl is:

    M = moles of KCl / liters of solution

    M = 0.376 mol / 0.239 L

    M = 1.57 M

    D.

    The molality of KCl is:

    m = moles of KCl / kilograms of solvent

    m = 0.376 mol / 0.225 kg

    m = 1.67 m
