Calculate new freezing point of 0250 mol naphthalene in 245
Calculate new freezing point of 0.250 mol naphthalene in 2.45 mol chloroform. kf=4.68 C and normal freezing point of chloroform=-63.5 C.
Solution
mass of chloroform = moles x molar mass
mass of chloroform = 2.45 mol x 119.38 g/mol
mass of chloroform = 292.481 g
mass of chloroform = 0.292481 kg
now
molality = moles of napthalene / mass of chloroform (kg)
molality (m) = 0.25 mol / 0.292481 kg
molality (m)= 0.854756 mol/kg
now
depression in freezing point = molality x Kf
depression in freezing point = 0.854756 x 4.68
depression in freezing point = 4 C
now
depression in freezing point = freezing point of pure solvent chloroform - freezing point of solution
-63.5 C - freezing point of solution = 4 C
freezing point of solution = -63.5 - 4 C
freezing point of solution = -67.5 C
