SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the molal volume of vitamin E using its known molar volume of 603 cm³/mol and molecular weight (MW) of 430.7 g/mol. To derive the molal volume in cm³/(g*mol), one must understand the distinction between molarity and molality, where molality is defined as moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. The user seeks clarification on how to perform this calculation for application in diffusivity coefficient equations.
