CBSEENCH12010096

Calculate the mass of compound (molar mass = 256 g mol-1) to be dissolved in 75 of benzene to lower its freezing point by 0.48 K (Kf= 5.12 kg mol-1 )

Solution

We have given:

Tf  = 0.48 K
Kf=5.12K kg mol-1

 W1 = 75 g

 W2 = ?

 M2 = 256 g mol-1  
increment straight T subscript straight f space equals space fraction numerator straight K subscript straight f space straight x space straight w subscript 2 space straight x space 1000 over denominator straight M subscript 2 space straight x space straight w subscript 1 end fraction space

straight w subscript 2 space equals fraction numerator increment straight T subscript straight f space straight x space straight M subscript 2 space xw subscript 1 over denominator straight K subscript straight f space straight x space 1000 end fraction

equals space fraction numerator 0.48 space straight x space 256 space straight x space 75 over denominator 5.12 space straight x space 1000 end fraction space equals space 18 space straight g space
