How much amount of NaCl should be added
to 600 g of water ($\rho$ = 1.00 g/mL) to decrease
the freezing point of water to – 0.2 °C ?
______.
(The freezing point depression constant for water = 2K kg mol–1)
Answer (integer)
1
Solution
$\Delta$T<sub>f</sub> = 0.2<sup>o</sup> C
<br><br>$\therefore$ $\Delta$T<sub>f</sub> = ik<sub>f</sub>.m
<br><br>i = 2 for NaCl
<br><br>$\therefore$ 0.2 = 2$\times$2$\times$${{{W_{NaCl}} \times 1000} \over {58.5 \times 600}}$
<br><br>$\Rightarrow$ W<sub>NaCl</sub> = ${{58.5 \times 600 \times 0.2} \over {4 \times 1000}}$ = 1.76 g
