Answer:
x = 100 * 1.1897 = 118.97 %, which is > 100 meaning that all of the HClO2 dissociates
Explanation:
Recall that , depression present in freezing point is calculated with the formulae = solute particles Molarity x KF
0.3473 = m * 1.86
Solving, m = 0.187 m
Moles of HClO2 = mass / molar mass = 5.85 / 68.5 = 0.0854 mol
Molality = moles / mass of water in kg = 0.0854 / 1 = 0.0854 m
Initial molality
Assuming that a % x of the solute dissociates, we have the ICE table:
HClO2 H+ + ClO2-
initial concentration: 0.0854 0 0
final concentration: 0.0854(1-x/100) 0.0854x/100 0.0854x / 100
We see that sum of molality of equilibrium mixture = freezing point molality
0.0854( 1 - x/100 + x/100 + x/100) = 0.187
2.1897 = 1 + x / 100
x = 100 * 1.1897 = 118.97 %, which is > 100 meaning that all of the HClO2 dissociates
The number of moles of one substance given the amount in mass can be calculated by the use of the molar mass. This is the mass of a compound per 1 mol of the said substance. For, KCl the molar mass is 74.55 g/ mol
148 g / 74.55 g/mol = 2 mol KCl
Hope this answers the question. have a nice day.
