Question

Pure water freezes at 273 K and 1 bar. The addition of 34.5 g of ethanol to 500 g of water changes the freezing point of the solution. Use the freezing point depression constant of water as 2 K kg m o l - 1 . The figures shown below represent plots of vapour pressure (V.P.) versus temperature (T). [molecular weight of ethanol is 46 g m o l - 1 ] Among the following, the option representing change in the freezing point is, , , ,

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

As when temperature increase, vapour pressure increases so C and D options get rejected. Δ T f = K f × m 273 - T f ′ = 2 × 34.5 46 0.5 So T f ′ = 270 K
