    Density
In summary, the conversation is discussing a question regarding the molality of a 10.4 M CH3OH (methanol) solution with a density of 0.858 g/mL and H2O as the solvent. The conversation advises to start with the definitions of molarity and molality and use unit conversions and concentration information to solve the question. It also mentions the expectation for posters on the board to not give full solutions until the original questioner has shown some effort to solve the question.

Would anyone be able to help me with this question?
The density of a 10.4 M CH3OH (methanol) solution is 0.858 g/mL. What is the molality (m) of this solution? H2O is the solvent.
Anhy help is appreciated cheers.

Start with definitions of both molarity and molality. See what and how you can calculate from the information given, what you need to find out molality.

See percentage to molality conversion example for hints on the general approach to this type of the question.

That is the most unhelpful post i have ever read

mate1000, Borek gave you advice on how to start. You must know and use the definitions of molarity and molality. The rest is simple unit conversions and simple concentration information. We posters on this board are expected not to plainly answer questions with full solution until the original questioner has tried to solve and shown some effort to do so.
 

What is the definition of "density"?

Density is a measure of the amount of mass per unit volume of a substance. It is calculated by dividing the mass of the substance by its volume.

What does "10.4 M CH3OH" mean?

10.4 M CH3OH refers to a solution of methanol (CH3OH) with a concentration of 10.4 moles per liter.

How is the density of a 10.4 M CH3OH solution determined?

The density of a 10.4 M CH3OH solution can be determined by measuring the mass of a known volume of the solution and then dividing by the volume.

What factors can affect the density of a 10.4 M CH3OH solution?

The density of a 10.4 M CH3OH solution can be affected by temperature, pressure, and the concentration of the solution.

What are the units of density for a 10.4 M CH3OH solution?

The units of density for a 10.4 M CH3OH solution are typically grams per milliliter (g/mL) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3).
