AnswerAnswer::
XXSO2SO2 = (mole fraction SO = (mole fraction SO22)/(total moles of solution))/(total moles of solution)
Moles SOMoles SO22 = 128.0g • (1 mol SO = 128.0g • (1 mol SO22 /64.04g SO /64.04g SO22) = 1.999 mol SO) = 1.999 mol SO22
Moles COMoles CO22 = 1500.g CO = 1500.g CO22 • [1 mol CO • [1 mol CO22/44.01g CO/44.01g CO22] = 34.08 mol CO] = 34.08 mol CO22

Solution:Solution: First find the molality from First find the molality from ΔΔTTff = K = Kffm.m.
0.744 °C = (1.86 °C/0.744 °C = (1.86 °C/m)m) x x m,m,
so the molality = 0.400 so the molality = 0.400 molalmolal But But molality molality = moles/kg, so = moles/kg, so
0.400 m = ??? moles/0.250 kg, 0.400 m = ??? moles/0.250 kg,
from which ??? moles = 0.100 molefrom which ??? moles = 0.100 mole
-Since 0.100 mole = 16.9g of solute, 1.00 mole of solute = -Since 0.100 mole = 16.9g of solute, 1.00 mole of solute = 169 g, giving a molar mass of 169 g/mol.169 g, giving a molar mass of 169 g/mol.
