Answer

Molality of iodine solution is $0.1m$

Work Step by Step

Mass of solute $(I_2)=2.603g$ mass of solvent $(CCl_4)=100.0g =0.01kg$ moles of $I_2=mass/molarmass=2.603/254=0.1moles$ Molality is defined as moles of solute present in 1kg of solvent. molality $=moles(solute)/mass(solvent)kg=0.01/0.1=0.1m$ Molality of iodine solution is $0.1m$
