Question

A solution of 1.25 g of a certain non-volatile substance in 20 g of water freezes at 271.94 K. Calculate the molecular mass of the solute (Kf=1.86 K.kg.mol−1).

Solution

Freezing point of the solution =271.94 K
Freezing point of water =273.0 K

△T=(273−271.94)=1.06K

We know that,

m=1000Kf×wW×△T

Given,
Kf=1.86 Kkgmol−1,
w=1.25g,
W=20g ,
â–³T=1.06K

Now,

M=1000×1.86×1.2520×1.06

M=109.67 g/mol
