A 0.1539 molal aqueous solution of cane sugar (mol. mass = 342 g mol–1) has a freezing point of 271 K while the freezing point of pure water is 273.15 K. What will be the freezing point of an aqueous solution containing 5 g of gluocose (mol. mass = 180 g mol–1) per 100 g of solution?

Solution

Answer:

The molality of the cane sugar, m= 0.1539m
depression in freezing point Tf = 273.15-271
                                                 =2.15K

Since Tf = Kfm
 or KfTf/m  = 2.15k/0.1539m  = 13.97K/m

Now the weight of glucose , W2 = 5g
molecular mass of glucose, M2  =180g/mol

then Tf =Kfm

Tf =

Kf×W2×1000W1×M2  = 13.97×5×1000100×180 = 3.88K

then freezing point of solution = 273.15-3.88
                                              =263.27K
