Addition of `0.40 g` of a compound to `45.5 m L` of benzene (density `0.879 g mL^(-1)`) lowers the freezing point from `5.51^(@)C` to `4.998^(@)C`.If `K_(f)` for benzene is `5.12 K kg mol^(-1)`,calculate the molar mass of the compound. |

Answer» The given values are: `W_("solute")=0.40 g`,`K_(f)=5.12 K m^(-1)` `rho_("benzene")=0.879 g mL^(-1)` `V_("benzene")=45.50 mL` `DeltaT_(f)=T_(f)^(@)-T_(f)=5.51-5.03=0.212^(@)C` Now weight of benzene =`V xx rho` `=45.50xx0.879` `=40.00 g` Molar mass of solute,`M_("solute")` is calculated as `Mw_("solute")=(K_(f)xxW_("solute")xx1000)/(W_("solvent")xxDeltaT_(f))` `=(5.12xx0.40xx1000)/(40xx0.512)=400` Thus, the molecular weight of solute is `400 g mol^(-1)`. |
