General 'rule' - "like dissolves like". The solubility
of a solute in a solvent (that is, the extent of the mixing of the
solute and solvent species) depends on a balance between the natural
tendency for the solute and solvent species to mix and the tendency for a
system to have the lowest energy possible.
Hope this helps :p
Answer:
Molar mass→ 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol
Explanation:
Let's apply the formula for freezing point depression:
ΔT = Kf . m
ΔT = 74.2°C - 73.4°C → 0.8°C
Difference between the freezing T° of pure solvent and freezing T° of solution
Kf = Cryoscopic constant → 5.5°C/m
So, if we replace in the formula
ΔT = Kf . m → ΔT / Kf = m
0.8°C / 5.5 m/°C = m → 0.0516 mol/kg
These are the moles in 1 kg of solvent so let's find out the moles in our mass of solvent which is 0.125 kg
0.0516 mol/kg . 0.125 kg = 6.45×10⁻³ moles. Now we can determine the molar mass:
Molar mass (mol/kg) → 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol
The grams of water produced is c
