Answer:

The molality of copper(II) acetate in the solution is 0.3960 mol/kg.

Explanation:

Mass of copper(II) acetate = 26.4 g

Molar mass of copper(II) acetate = 181.63 g/mol

Moles of copper(II) acetate =- [tex]\frac{26.4 g/mol}{181.63 g/mol}=0.14535 mol[/tex]

Mass of water = 367 g = 367 × 0.001 kg  ( 1 g = 0.001 kg)

[tex]Molality(m)=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent (kg)}}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{0.14535 mol}{367\times 0.001 kg}=0.3960 mol/kg[/tex]

The molality of copper(II) acetate in the solution is 0.3960 mol/kg.
