chi_(NaOH)~=0.05χNaOH0.05

Explanation:

Now....."Molality"Molality == "Moles of solute"/"Kilograms of solvent."Moles of soluteKilograms of solvent.

And our NaOH(aq)NaOH(aq) solution is 3.0*"molal"3.0molal, i.e. 3.0*mol*kg^-13.0molkg1

Now chi_(NaOH)="Moles of NaOH"/"Moles of NaOH + moles of water"χNaOH=Moles of NaOHMoles of NaOH + moles of water

=(3.0*mol)/(3.0*mol+(1000*g)/(18.01*g*mol^-1))=3.0mol3.0mol+1000g18.01gmol1

=(3.0*mol)/(3.0*mol+55.52*mol)=0.0513=3.0mol3.0mol+55.52mol=0.0513
