Lead storage battery contains $38 \%$ by weight solution of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$. The van't Hoff factor is $2.67$ at this concentration. The temperature in Kelvin at which the solution in the battery will freeze is ________. (Nearest integer).
Given $\mathrm{K}_{f}=1.8 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
Answer (integer)
243
Solution
<p>$\mathrm{\Delta T_f=K_f~i~m}$</p>
<p>$= 1.8 \times 2.67 \times {{{{38} \over {98}}} \over {0.062}} = 30$</p>
<p>$\therefore$ It freeze at $273-30=243$ $\mathrm{K}$</p>
