40 g of glucose (Molar mass = 180) is mixed with 200 mL of water. The freezing point of solution is __________ K. (Nearest integer) [Given : Kf = 1.86 K kg mol$-$1; Density of water = 1.00 g cm$-$3; Freezing point of water = 273.15 K]
Answer (integer)
271
Solution
Molality = $${{\left( {{{40} \over {180}}} \right)mol} \over {0.2\,Kg}} = \left( {{{10} \over 9}} \right)$$ molal<br><br>$\Rightarrow \Delta {T_f} = {T_f} - {T_f}' = 1.86 \times {{10} \over 9}$<br><br>$\Rightarrow {T_f}' = 273.15 - 1.86 \times {{10} \over 9}$<br><br>= 271.08 K<br><br>$\simeq$ 271 K (nearest - integer)
