Question
A solution of sucrose ( molar mass $$ = 342g\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$ ) has been prepared by dissolving $$68.5\,g$$ of sucrose in $$1000\,g$$ of water. The freezing point of the solution obtained will be $$\left( {{k_f}\,{\text{for water}} = 1.86\,K\,kg\,mo{l^{ - 1}}} \right)$$
A.
$$ - {0.372^ \circ }C$$
B.
$$ - {0.520^ \circ }C$$
C.
$$ + {0.372^ \circ }C$$
D.
$$ - {0.570^ \circ }C$$
Answer :
$$ - {0.372^ \circ }C$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Depression in freezing point,}} \cr
& \Delta {T_f} = {k_f} \times m \cr
& {\text{where,}}\,m = {\text{molality}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{{W_B} \times 1000}}{{{M_B}.{W_A}}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{68.5 \times 1000}}{{342 \times 1000}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{68.5}}{{342}} \cr
& \Delta {T_f} = 1.86 \times \frac{{68.5}}{{342}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {0.372^ \circ }C \cr
& {T_f} = T_F^0 - \Delta {T_f} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 0 - {0.372^ \circ }C \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = - {0.372^ \circ }C \cr} $$
