An aqueous solution of a non electrolyte is having an osmotic pressure of 2 atmosphere at 300 K. Calculate its freezing point. (Given Kf = 1.86 Kg mol-1, R = 0.821 litre-atm K-1 mol-1) |
0.151oC −0.151oC 2.591 oC -0.817 oC |
−0.151oC |
For a non-electrolyte \[\pi = MRT\] ∵π=2 atm, R=0.0821 L atm K−1mol−1, T=300K \(\text{Therefore, }M = \frac{\pi}{RT}\) \(M = \frac{2}{0.0821 × 300} = 0.0812\) For a very dilute solution, Molality and molarity are same \(\Delta T_f = K_f m\) \(\Delta T_f = 1.86 × 0.0812 =0.151\) \(\text{Freezing point} = T_o − \Delta T\) \(0 - 0.151\) \(= 0.151^oC\) |
