Answer:
<u></u>
- <u>- 0.380ºC</u>
Explanation:
The lowering of the freezing point of a solvent is a colligative property ruled by the formula:
Where:
- ΔTf is the lowering of the freezing point
- Kf is the molal freezing constant of the solvent: 1.86 °C/m
- m is the molality of the solution
- i is the van't Hoff factor: the number of particles (ions) per unit of ionic compound.
<u />
<u>a) molality, m</u>
- m = number of moles of solute/ kg of solvent
- number of moles of CaI₂ = mass in grams/ molar mass
- number of moles of CaI₂ = 25.00g / 293.887 g/mol = 0.0850667mol
- m = 0.0850667mol/1.25 kg = 0.068053m
<u>b) i</u>
- Each unit of CaI₂, ideally, dissociates into 1 Ca⁺ ion and 2 I⁻ ions. Thus, i = 1 + 2 = 3
<u />
<u>c) Freezing point lowering</u>
- ΔTf = 1.86 °C/m × 0.068053m × 3 = 0.3797ºC ≈ 0.380ºC
