Solutions Question 336

Question: A solution of urea (mol. mass 56gmol1 ) boils at 100.18C at the atmospheric pressure. If Kf and Kb for water are 1.86 and 0.512Kkgmol1 respectively, the above solution will freeze at

Options:

A) 0.654C

B) 0.654C

C) 6.54C

D) 6.54C

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

As ΔTf=Kfm

ΔTb=Kb.m Hence, we have m=ΔTfKf=ΔTbKb or ΔTf=ΔTbKfKb

[ΔTb=100.18100=0.18C]

=0.18×1.860.512=0.654C As the freezing point of pure water is 0C,

ΔTf=0Tf

0.654=0Tf
Tf=0.654 Thus the freezing point of solution will be 0.654C.
