Answer:
The molality is 1.15 m.
Molality is calculated by dividing the number of moles of solute by the kilograms of solvent, which in this case is water.
Calculate moles of H₂SO₄ from molarity:
C = n/V → n = C × V = 6.00 mol/L × 0.048 L = 0.288 moles
Mass of solvent (water) based on density:
m = ρ × V = 1.00 kg/L × 0.250 L = 0.250 kg
Therefore, molality is:
m = moles/solvent mass = 0.288 moles / 0.250 kg = 1.15 m
The proportion of component A by mass for substance AB is given by 75%.
Further explanation
According to Proust's Comparative Law, compounds are made from elements that maintain the same Mass Comparison, ensuring that compounds have a consistent ratio of elements.
The empirical formula presents the mole ratio of elements forming a compound.
In the case of substance AB₂, 60.0% of its mass is attributed to A.
For instance, if the mass of AB₂ is 100 grams, then the mass of A would be 60 grams, and the mass of B would be 40 grams, divided according to the coefficient in compound AB₂ which is 2, leading to 20 grams.
Thus, for compound AB, the total mass is the sum of mass A and mass B, which equals 60 grams plus 20 grams, resulting in a total mass of 80 grams.
Consequently, the percentage of compound A calculates to (60: 80) = 75%.
Refer to the attached image. This does not depict the polymerization reaction of salicylic acid. It merely illustrates the structure of salicylic acid and what it looks like post-polymerization. The polymerization occurs through the linking of salicylic acid molecules, resulting in the formation of one water molecule.
