Correct Answer - `a. 15xx10^(-4)g, b. 1.25xx10^(-25)m`
a. `pp m=(W_(2))/("Weight of solution")xx10^(6)`
`(15)/(10^(6))=(W_(2))/(Weight of solution)`
`%` By mass `=(15)/(10^(6))xx100=15xx10^(-4)g`
b. `Mw` of `CHMCl_(30=119.5g`
`W_(2)=15xx10^(-4)g`
Weight of solution `=100g`
Weight of solvent `=W_(1)=(100-15xx10^(-4))`
`=99.998g`
`m=(W_(2)xx1000)/(Mw_(2)xxW_(1))=(15xx10^(-4)xx10^(3))/(119.5xx99.998)`
`=1.25xx10^(-5)m`
