0.5 gm of Kcl was dissolved in 100 gm of water 20°c - 0.24°c calculate percent insoniation of salt kf= 1.86
Answers
• Change in Tf (freezing temperature) =
solvent's freezing point - solution's freezing point
∆ Tf = T0f - Tf
• On addition of solute, a freezing point always tends to decrease.
Hence , depression in freezing temperature= (0+273) - (0.240+273)
= -0.240K
• Again depression in freezing point ∆ Tf = iKf m (i)
Where i is Van't Hoff factor and m is the molality of the solution and Kf is freezing point depression constant.
.
moles of the solute KCL =
mass of solvent water =
• Now, molality =
Hence, normal molar mass of KCl = 74.5
• Observed molar mass calculated from (i) is m = Kf X 1000
∆ Tf X wsolvent
= 1.86 X .5 X 1000
.24 X 100
= 38.75
• Vant hoff factor i = normal molar mass/observed molar mass
74.5/38.75 = 1.92
And
KCl dissociates as,
KCl → K+ + Cl-
Moles after dissociation: 1 – α α α
Total no. Of moles after dissociation = 1 + α
hence , i = 1.92
or, α = 1.92 – 1 = 0.92
Hence, percentage dissociation of the salt = 92 %.
Answer:
92% is the correct answer
