Answer to Question #320169 in General Chemistry for dme

Question

What is the molecular mass of a non-electrolyte solute in a solution that contains 0.6kg of solute and

200g of benzene with a freezing point equal to 5.4°C? The freezing point of pure benzene is 5.53°C/m.

The freezing point constant of benzene is 5.12°C.

Answer 1

$\Delta T=(5.53-5.4)\degree C=0.13\degree C$

$\Delta T=C_m\cdot K_f=(m/M)/m_s\cdot K_f=>$

$M=m/m_s\cdot K_f/\Delta T=600/200\cdot 5.12/0.13=118.15 g/mol$
