If a solution of 1.00g of unknown solute is added to 9.116 g of steric acid and the solution freezes at 62.4 oC, What is the molality of the solution ( Normal FP steric acid = 68.88oC and Kf = 4.50 oC/m )
Your answer should have 3 sig figs

Expert Solution
Step 1

The question deals with the concepts of solutions.

depression in  freezing point is a  colligative property which depends upon number of moles of solute present. we have been provided depression in freezing point and molal depression constant value. we have to calculate molality.
