Question

Suppose that you add 26.7 g of an unknown molecular compound to 0.250 kg of benzene, which has a K f Kf of 5.12 oC/m. With the added solute, you find that there is a freezing point depression of 3.89 oC compared to pure benzene. What is the molar mass (in g/mol) of the unknown compound

Answer 1

From the calculation, the molar mass of the solution is 141 g/mol.

What is the molar mass?

We know that;

ΔT = K m i

K = the freezing constant

m = molality of the solution

i = the Van't Hoft factor

The molality of the solution is obtained from;

m = ΔT/K i

m = 3.89/5.12 * 1

m = 0.76 m

Now;

0.76 =  26.7 /MM/0.250

0.76 = 26.7 /0.250MM

0.76 * 0.250MM =  26.7

MM= 26.7/0.76 * 0.250

MM = 141 g/mol
