A 0.1 molal aqueous solution of a weak acid is 30% ionized. If Kf for water is 1.86 C/m, the freezing point of the solution will be
- -0.18 C
- -0.54 C
- -0.36 C
- -0.24 C
Answer
(4) -0.24 C
Solution
HA H+ + A-
i = 1 + = 1 + 0.30 = 1.3
Tf = i Kf m
= 1.3 1.86 0.1
= 0.2418 0.24 C
∴ Freezing point = 0 - 0.24 = -0.24 C
Answer: (4)
