Question
In the lab, a student follows the following steps to determine the freezing point and molality of a deicer solution.
 
1.
 
Measured the mass of calorimeter with stir bar.
2.
 
Measured the mass of deicer.
3.
 
Measured the volume of water and transfered it to the calorimeter.
4.
 
Added the deicer to calorimeter and dissolved it in the water.
5.
 
Measured the mass of the calorimeter with its contents.
6.
 
Added ice to the calorimeter and reweigh it.
7.
 
Placed a lid on the calorimeter, monitored the temperature of the solution, and recorded the freezing temperature.
 
8.
 
Decanted the deicer solution, keeping the stir bar and remaining ice. Then measured the mass of the calorimeter with its remaining contents.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given 

  • mass of CaCl2 = 9.57 g 
  • Volume of water = 58.6 mL  = 58.6 g

Convert grams to kg using conversion factor : 1 kg = 1000 g 

  • mass of water (solvent) = 0.0586 kg 

 

Required data - 

  • molar mass of CaCl2 = 110.98 g/mol
