Explanation:

39.0g of KCl in 225 g of water

KCl is the solute

Water is the solvent

First of all let's find out the total mass of solution:

Solute mass + Solvent mass = Total mass of solution

39 g + 225 g = 264 g

In order to calculate the mass percent of KCl in the solution, we need to do this rule of three

264 g of solution have 39 g of solute

100 g of solution have (100 . 39)/264 = 14.7 g

As 39 grams are my mass of solute, I need the moles that this mass represents:

Mass / Molar mass = moles

39 g / 74.55 g/m = 0.523 moles

KCl →  K⁺  +  Cl⁻

To find out the mole fraction of the ionic species, we must know the dissociation of the salt (equation above), and the ratio is 1:1 so we have 0.523 moles of both, K⁺ and Cl⁻. We don't know the total moles, because we must consider moles that come from water.

Water mass / Water molar mass = Moles of water

225 g / 18 g/m = 12.5 moles

Total moles = Moles from water + Moles from salt

0.523 + 12.8 = 13.323

Mole fraction Cl⁻ = Moles Cl⁻ / Total moles

Mole fraction K⁺ = Moles K⁺ / Total moles

In both cases 0.523 / 13.323 == 0.039

Molarity is mol/L

We know the moles of solute, and we know  the volume of solution (but this measure is in mL, we must convert to L)

239 mL = 0.239L

0.523 m/0.239L = 2.19M

Molality is mol/1kg of solvent

We know the moles of solute, and we know the mass of solvent, but this mass is in g; we should convert to kg

225 g = 0.225 kg

0.523 m/0.225kg = 2.32 molal
