Answer:

Explanation:

Steroids have two principal biological functions: as important components of cell membranes which alter membrane fluidity; and as signaling molecules. Hundreds of steroids are found in plants, animals and fungi. All steroids are manufactured in cells from the sterols lanosterol (opisthokonts) or cycloartenol (plants).

Calculate the freezing point (in degrees C) of a solution made by dissolving 7.99 g of anthracene{C14H10} in 79 g of benzene. Th

mario62 [17]

Answer: The freezing point of solution is 2.6°C

Explanation:

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_f=iK_fm$

Or,

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ = $\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}$

Freezing point of pure solution = 5.5°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (For non-electrolytes)

$K_f$ = molal freezing point depression constant = 5.12 K/m = 5.12 °C/m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (anthracene) = 7.99 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (anthracene) = 178.23 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (benzene) = 79 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.5-\text{Freezing point of solution}=1\times 5.12^oC/m\times \frac{7.99\times 1000}{178.23g/mol\times 79}\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=2.6^oC$

Hence, the freezing point of solution is 2.6°C
