When 136 g of glycine are dissolved in 950 g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is 8.2C lower than the freezing point of pure X. On the other hand, when 136 g of sodium chloride are dissolved in the same mass of X, the freezing point of the solution is 20.0C lower than the freezing point of pure X. Calculate the van't Hoff factor for sodium chloride in X.

Answer: The vant hoff factor for sodium chloride in X is 1.9

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point is given by:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$

$\Delta T_f=T_f^0-T_f=8.2^0C$ = Depression in freezing point

$K_f$ = freezing point constant

i = vant hoff factor = 1 ( for non electrolyte)

m= molality = $\frac{136g\times 1000}{950g\times 75.07g/mol}=1.9$

$8.2^0C=1\times K_f\times 1.9$

$K_f=4.32^0C/m$

Now Depression in freezing point for sodium chloride is given by:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$

$\Delta T_f=20.0^0C$ = Depression in freezing point

$K_f$ = freezing point constant

m= molality = $\frac{136g\times 1000}{950g\times 58.5g/mol}=2.45$

$20.0^0C=i\times 4.32^0C\times 2.45$

$i=1.9$

Thus vant hoff factor for sodium chloride in X is 1.9

How much calcium hypochlorite (65% strength) is needed to make 200 L of 2% hypochlorite solution? (Assume that a 1% solution is

g100num [7]

To solve this we use the equation,

M1V1 = M2V2

where M1 is the concentration of the stock solution, V1 is the volume of the stock solution, M2 is the concentration of the new solution and V2 is its volume.

65 x V1 = 2 x 200 L

V1 = 6.15 L
