Why is it preferable to allow cold water to enter at the bottom of a condenser and exit at the top?

5 0

In a distillation model, it is better to let the cold water enter the bottom of the condenser and exit at the top because this can lead to a better cooling effect.
When water enters from the bottom, they will stay longer in the condenser, thus the vapor in the condenser can be cooled back into liquid faster.
In addition, this method can also save the amount of water used, since they water can stay longer in the condenser.

Dovator [93]

Answer : The molar mass of the solute would be low.

Explanation :

Formula used for depression in freezing point is:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T^o-T_s=i\times K_f\times\frac{w_b}{M_b}\times w_a}$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ = change in freezing point

$\Delta T_s$ = freezing point of solution

$\Delta T^o$ = freezing point of water

i = Van't Hoff factor

$K_f$ = freezing point constant

m = molality

$w_b$ = mass of solute

$w_a$ = mass of solvent

$M_b$ = molar mass of solute

From the formula we conclude that, when the freezing point of the solution read incorrectly that is freezing point of the solution is lower than the true freezing point then this means that change in freezing point would be high and the molar mass of the solute would be low.

Hence, the molar mass of the solute would be low.
