Norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂).
<h3>Further explanation</h3>We will solve a case related to one of the colligative properties, namely freezing point depression.
The freezing point of the solution is the temperature at which the solution begins to freeze. The difference between the freezing point of the solvent and the freezing point of the solution is called freezing point depression.
<u>Given:</u>
A mysterious white powder could be,
- powdered sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) with a molar mass of 342.30 g/moles,
- cocaine (C₁₇H₂₁NO₄) with a molar mass of 303.35 g/moles,
- codeine (C₁₈H₂₁NO₃) with a molar mass of 299.36 g/moles,
- norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂) with a molar mass of 153.18 g/moles, or
- fructose (C₆H₁₂O₆) with a molar mass of 180.16 g/moles.
When 82 mg of the powder is dissolved in 1.50 mL of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/cm³, normal freezing point −114.6°C, Kf = 1.99°C/m), the freezing point is lowered to −115.5°C.
<u>Question: </u>What is the identity of the white powder?
<u>The Process:</u>
Let us identify the solute, the solvent, initial, and final temperatures.
- The solute = the powder
- The solvent = ethanol
- The freezing point of the solvent = −114.6°C
- The freezing point of the solution = −115.5°C
Prepare masses of solutes and solvents.
- Mass of solute = 82 mg = 0.082 g
- Mass of solvent = density x volume, i.e.,
We must prepare the solvent mass unit in kg because the unit of molality is the mole of the solute divided by the mass of the solvent in kg.
The molality formula is as follows:
Now we combine it with the formula of freezing point depression.
It is clear that we will determine the molar mass of the solute (denoted by Mr).
We enter all data into the formula.
We get
These results are very close to the molar mass of norfenefrine which is 153.18 g/mol. Thus the white powder is norfenefrine.
