The freezing point of a solution in which 2.5 grams of NaCl is added t0 230 ml of water is : - 0.69°C
Determine the freezing point of the solution
First step : Calculate the molality of NaCl
molality = ( 2.5 grams / 58.44 g/mol ) / ( 230 * 10⁻³ kg/ml )
= 0.186 mol/kg
Next step : Calculate freezing point depression temperature
T = 2 * 0.186 * kf
where : kf = 1.86°c.kg/mole
Hence; T = 2 * 0.186 * 1.86 = 0.69°C
Freezing point of the solution
Freezing temperature of solvent - freezing point depression temperature
0°C - 0.69°C = - 0.69°C
Hence the Freezing temperature of the solution is - 0.69°C
