The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Molality $( m )=\frac{\text { mass of solute }(\text { in } g ) \times 1000}{\text { molecular weight of solute } \times \text { massofsolvent }(\text { in } g )}$ $=\frac{2.5 \times 1000}{60 \times 7.5}=0.555\, mol\, kg ^{-1}$

Concepts Used:

Concentration of Solutions

It is the amount of solute present in one liter of solution.

Concentration in Parts Per Million - The parts of a component per million parts (106) of the solution.

Mass Percentage - When the concentration is expressed as the percent of one component in the solution by mass it is called mass percentage (w/w).

Volume Percentage - Sometimes we express the concentration as a percent of one component in the solution by volume, it is then called as volume percentage

Mass by Volume Percentage - It is defined as the mass of a solute dissolved per 100mL of the solution.

Molarity - One of the most commonly used methods for expressing the concentrations is molarity. It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of a solution.

Molality - Molality represents the concentration regarding moles of solute and the mass of solvent.

Normality - It is the number of gram equivalents of solute present in one liter of the solution and it is denoted by N.

Formality - It is the number of gram formula present in one litre of solution.
