The freezing point of a pure solvent is 315 K. On addition of 0.5 mole of urea in 1 kg of the solvent, the freezing point decreases by 3 K. Calculate the molal depression constant for the solvent.

Answer»

Given : 

m = Molality of urea = 0.5 m 

ΔTf = Depression in the freezing point = 3 K 

K = Molal depression constant for the solvent = ? 

ΔTf = Kf × m

∴ Kf\(\frac{ΔT_f}{m}\)

\(\frac{3}{0.5}\)

= 6 K kg mol-1

∴ Molal depression constant = 6 K kg mol-1
