Answer:
The mass percentage of calcium nitrate is 31.23%.
Explanation:
Let the the mass of calcium nitrate be x and mass of potassium chloride be y.
Total mass of mixture = 19.12 g
x + y = 19.12 g..(1)
Mass of solvent = 149 g = 0.149 kg
Freezing point of the solution, = -5.77 °C
Molal freezing constant of water = 1.86 °C/m =1.86 °C/(mol/kg)
The van't Hoff factor contribution by calcium nitrate is 3 and by potassium chloride is 2.So:
i = 3
i' = 2
Freezing point of water = T = 0°C
On solving we get:
....(2)
Solving equation (1)(2) for x and y:
x =5.973 g
y = 13.147 g
Mass percent of in the mixture:
The mass percentage of calcium nitrate is 31.23%.
