Question
Define boiling point. Write the formula to determine molar mass of a solute using freezing point depression method.
✓
Answer
The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. Depression of freezing point and molar mass of the solute: When W2 gram of solute with molar mass M2 is dissolved in W1 gram of solvent, the molality m is given by $\Delta T_f \propto m$ $m=\frac{\text { Mass of solute in } kg }{\text { Molar mass of solue in } kg \times \text { Mass of solvent in } kg }$ $m=\frac{W_2}{M_2 \cdot W_1}$ ∴ The molar mass of a solute using freezing depression method is givenby, $\Delta T_f \propto m$ $\Delta T_f=k_f \cdot \frac{ W _2}{ M _2} \times \frac{1000}{ W _1}$ Where $K_f$ - Cryoscopic constant $W_2$ - mass of solute $W _1$ - mass of solvent $M _2$ - molecular mass of non-volatile solute
