Question 44 • Chemistry

The freezing point of pure chloroform is negative 63 point 5 times degree C , and its freezing point depression constant is 4 point 0 7 times degree C times kg/mol If the freezing point of a solution of benzoic acid in chloroform is negative 70 point 5 5 times degree C , what is the molality of this solution? Use triangle cap t sub f is equal to cap k sub f m

Answer
A
1 point 7 m
B
16 m
C
17 m
D
0 point 5 8 m

Explanation

The freezing-point depression is the difference between the pure solvent and solution freezing points: ΔTf = (−63.5°C) − (−70.55°C) = 7.05°C. Using ΔTf = Kf m, the molality is m = 7.05°C ÷ 4.07°C·kg/mol ≈ 1.73 mol/kg. Rounded to the nearest listed value, this is 1.7 m, choice A.
