0.4
Explanation:
Molality (not to be confused with molarity) of a solution is defined as no. of moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg of solvent. In this solution, we have solute as glucose and solvent as water.
Molar mass of glucose (C6H12O6)
=(6×12)+(12×1)+(6×16)=180g
No of moles of glucose in 180 g glucose = 1
No of moles of glucose in 18 g glucose = 0.1
This 0.1 moles of glucose is dissolved in 250 g of water
In 1 kg (or 1000 g) of water, no. of moles of glucose dissovled =4×0.1=0.4
