Answer:

Option A) (I) 2.42 m (II) 2.16 M

Explanation:

Let's determine some information.

Solute = CoCl₃ (molar mass = 165.29 g/m); mass of 100 g

Solvent = Water, mass of 250 g

Solution mass = mass of CoCl₃ + mass of water

250 g + 100 g = 350 g of solution

If we want to reach molarity (mol/L), let's determine solution volume with density:

Solution density = solution mass / solution volume

1.25 g/mL = 350 g / solution volume

Solution volume = 350 g / 1.25 g/mL = 280 mL

Let's convert the volume to L → 280 mL = 0.280L

Let's convert the mass of solute to moles = 100 g / 165.29 g/m →0.605 mol

Mol/L = 0.605 moles / 0.280 L = 2.16 M

Now let's calculate molalilty (mol/kg of solvet)

We must convert solvent mass to kg → 250g = 0.250 kg

Then, 0.605 moles / 0.250 kg =2.42 m
