Properties such as boiling point, freezing point and vapour pressure of a pure solvent change when solute molecules are added to get homogeneous solution. These are called colligative properties. Applications of colligative properties are very useful in day-to-day life. one of its examples is the use of ethylene glycol adn water mixtures as anti-freezing liquid in the radiator of automobiles. A solution M is prepared by mixing ethanol and water. The mole fraction of ethanol in the mixture is 0.9. Given: Freezing point depression constant of water (K_(f)^(water)) = 1.86 K kg mol^(-1) Freezing point depression constant of ethanol (K_(f)^("ethanol")) = 2.0 K kg mol^(-1) Boiling point elevation constant of water (K_(b)^(water)) = 0.52 K kg mol^(-1) Boiling point elevation constant of ethanol (K_(b)^("ethanol")) = 1.2 K kg mol^(-1) Standard freezing point of water = 273 K Standard freezing point of ethanol = 155.7 K Standard boiling point of water = 373 K Standard boiling point of ethanol = 351.5 K Vapour pressure of pure water = 32.8 mm Hg Vapour pressure of pure ethanol = 40 mm Hg Molecular weight of water=18 g mol^(-1) Molecular weight of ethanol = 46 g mol^(-1) In answering the following questions, consider the solutions to be ideal dilute solutions and solutes to be non-volatile and non-dissociative. The freezing point of the solution M is

Answer»

`268.7K`
`268.5 K`
`234.2K`
`150.9 K`

Solution :`(T_(F'))_(Alc.sol^(n)) = (T_(f))_(ETOH) - (K_(f))_(ETON) m`
`= 115.7 - 2 xx (0.1)/(0.9 xx 46//1000)`
`= 155.7 - 2 xx 2.415 = 150.9 K`
