Verified by Toppr

2% NaCl means 2 grams NaCl present in 100grams solution.

Mass of solution is the sum of masses ofsolute and solvent. Our solute is NaCl and the solvent is water.

mass of solvent = mass ofsolution - mass of solute

molality is the moles of solute per kg ofsolvent.

Moles of NaCl could be calculated ondividing it's grams by it's molar mass(58.44).

moles of NaCl = 2g×158.44 = 0.034moles

molality of solution = 0.0340.098

molality of solution = 0.35m

mass of solvent = 1002=98g=0.098kg

2 % NaCl molality is 0.35m.

Hence, option B is correct.
