Assignment

  1. A solution of urea in water has a boiling point of 100.130 °C. Calculate the freezing point of the same solution.
    Given: Kf = -1.858 °C, Kb = 0.512 °C.
  2. A certain solution of benzoic acid in benzene freezes at 3.1 °C. What information about the number of particles and the structure of benzoic acid at the temperature can be deduced?
    The freezing point of pure benzene is 5.5 °C, and the cryoscopic constant Kf = -4.90 K·kg·mol-1.
  3. Determine the molecular weight of non-volatile solute (Camphor) by the cryoscopic method using Carbon tetrachloride as the solvent.
    Given: Kf = -29.8 °C·kg·mol-1, i = 1, WA = 15 g, WB = 5 g.
  4. Determine the freezing point depression constant Kf of the solvent Carbon disulfide using Sulfur as the solute.
    Given: WA = 10 g, WB = 2 g, MB of Sulfur = 256.52 g/mol.
  5. A solution of sucrose (molecular weight = 342) is prepared by dissolving 34.2 g of it in 1000 g of water. Sucrose has a van ’t Hoff factor i = 1. Find the freezing point of the solution in Kelvin.
    Given: Kf for water = -1.86 K·kg·mol-1.
