What is the freezing point depression constant of a solvent, 50 g of which contain 1 g non-volatile solute (molar mass 256 g mol-1) and the decrease in freezing point is 0.40 K?
- 4.43 K kg mol-1
- 3.72 K kg mol-1
- 5.12 K kg mol-1
- 1.86 K kg mol-1
Answer
(3) 5.12 K kg mol-1
Solution
Tf = Kf m, where molality m = wB 1000MB wA
m = 1 1000256 50 = 100012800 = 0.078125 mol kg-1
Kf = Tfm = 0.400.078125
= 5.12 K kg mol-1
