Calculate Mass of Paradichlorobenzene for .05 Molal Solution

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the mass of paradichlorobenzene required to create a 0.05 molal solution in 20.00 mL of cyclohexane. The molar mass of paradichlorobenzene is 147.01 g/mol, and the density of cyclohexane is 0.779 g/mL. The calculation performed involves determining the mass of cyclohexane, which is approximately 15.58 g, and using the formula for molality to find that 0.11 g of paradichlorobenzene is needed. The calculation appears to be correct based on the provided values.

Calculate the mass of paradichlorobenzene (M=147.01g/mol) that should be added to 20.00 ml of cyclohexane (d = .779g/ml) to make a .05 molal solution.

I did this problem but i don't know if i did it correctly.
first i found the mass of cyclohexane by using m=dv.

(.05moles solute/kg solvent)(15.58g)(1kg/1000g)(147.01g/mol) = .11g

does this seem correct. I am not sure.

Thanks.
