Question

What is the solution's freezing point: 15 g of CH4N2O (Molar mass = 60.055 g/mol) in 200. g of H2O? (Kf = 1.86 (°C·kg)/mol)

Answer 1

Ok to answer this question we firsst need to fin the number of mol of Urea (CH4N2O). to do this we simply :

1 mol of urea =15/60.055 = 0.25mol

therefore 200g of water contain 0.25mol

the next step is to determine the malality of our solution in 200g of water, to do this we say:

200 g = 1Kg/1000g = 0.2kg

therefor 0.25mol/0.2Kg = 1.25mol/kg

and from the equation:

we know that i = 1

we are given Kf

b is the molality that we just calculated

therefore;

the solutions freezing point is -2.325°C
