The correct answer is: 0.70 m
As we know
po-ppo=x1= mole fraction of solute
The ratio po-ppo is the relative lowering of vapour pressure, which is equal to 0.0125 here.
So X1=0.0125
The relation between the mole fraction and molality is
1X1-1=1000m×18 (molecular weight of H2O=18 )
or 10.0125-1=100m×18 w
m=0.70 m
