Solution: Find the molality of the solution: ΔT = imKb ΔT = 103.5 - 100 = 3.5 oC i = 1 m = molality Kb = boiling point constant = 0.51 m = (3.5)/(1)(0.51) = 6.86 m Now, we find the freezing point of this solution ΔT = - imKf ΔT = - (1)(6.86)(1.86) ΔT = - 12.8 oC ≈ - 13 oC Chris O.

2 = (1) (0.51) (m)m = 3.92Δt = (1) (1.86) (3.92)Δt = 7.29 CThe freezing point is -7.3C. Try it with a van 't Hoff factor of 2, you'll get the same result. Since it is the same solution in both cases, the van 't Hoff factor is the same in each equation.
Find the molality of the solution: ∆T = change in boiling point = 3.5ºC i = van't Hoff Factor = 1 assuming a non-electrolyte as the solute (it isn't stated) m = molality = moles solute/kg solvent Kb = boiling point constant = 0.51 m = (3.5)/(1)(0.51) = 6.86 m Now substitute this value into the freezing point expression and solve for ∆T: So, the freezing point of the solution will be -12.8ºC |
