Catalyst can speed up chemical reaction without being used up or involved in thr reaction..
Depression of a freezing point of the solutions depends on the number of particles of the solute in the solution.
1 mol of C6H12O6 after dissolving in water still be 1 mol, because C6H12O6 does no dissociate in water.
1 mol of C2H5OH after dissolving in water still be 1 mol, because C2H5OH does no dissociate in water.
1 mol of NaCl after dissolving in water gives 2 mol of particles (ions), because NaCl is a strong electrolyte(as salt) and completely dissociates in water.
NaCl ----->Na⁺ + Cl⁻
1 mol of CH3COOH after dissolving in water gives more than 1 mol but less than 2 moles, because CH3COOH is a weak electrolyte (weak acid) and dissociates only partially.
So, most particles of the solute is going to be in the solution of NaCl,
so<span> the lowest freezing point has the aqueous solution of NaCl.</span>
Combustion reaction for menthol is as follows;
CxHyOz + O₂ ---> xCO₂ + H₂O
Mass of CO₂ formed - 28.16 mg
Therefore number of moles formed - 28.16/ 44 g/mol = 0.64 mmol
Mass of water formed - 11.53 mg
number of water moles formed - 11.53 mg/18 g/mol = 0.64 mmol
From CO₂,
1 mol of CO₂ - 1 mol of C and 2 mol of O
therefore number of C moles - 0.64 mmol
O moles - 1.28 mmol
from H₂O
1 mol of H₂O - 2 mol of H and 1 mol of O
number of H moles - 1.28 mmol
O moles - 0.64 mmol
Mass of menthol initially - 10 mg
in reactions, the masses of products are equal to the masses of reactants. The excess mass to the products formed is due to O₂ in air
Original mass of menthol - 10 mg
mass of water and CO₂ - 11.53 mg + 28.16 mg = 39.69
Difference in mass - 39.69 - 10 = 29.69 mg
This difference comes from O moles in air - 29.69 mg/ 16 g/mol = 1.8556 mmol
then O moles coming from menthol - (1.28 + 0.64) - 1.8556 = 0.064 mmol
In menthol
C moles - 0.64 mmol
H moles - 1.28 mmol
O moles - 0.064 mmol
ratios of C:H:O
C H O
0.64 1.28 0.064
x1000 x1000 x1000 to get whole numbers
640 1280 64
10 20 1
Simplest ratio of C:H:O is 10:20:1
therefore empirical formula of menthol is C₁₀H₂₀O
