To find:
Increasing order of freezing point of solution of 0.10 m MgCl2 in water, 0.20 m toluene in diethyl ether and 0.20 m ethylene glycol in ethanol
Answer to Problem 11.56QA
Solution:
The increasing order of freezing point of given solutions is,
b) 0.20 m toluene in diethyl ether < c) 0.20 m ethylene glycol in ethanol < a) 0.10 m MgCl2 in water
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept
Freezing point depression is a colligative property, so it does not depend on the identity of the solute particles only on their number. As the number of solute particles increases the freezing point of solution is decreases.
2) Given
a)
b)
c)
3) Formulae
4) Calculations
We will calculate the freezing point of the each solution
1) Freezing point depression of solution of
The freezing point depression:
To calculate the freezing point aqueous solution of MgCl2, we subtract
2) Freezing point depression of solution of
The freezing point depression:
To calculate the freezing point aqueous solution of toluene in diethyl ether, we subtract
3) Freezing point depression of solution of
The freezing point depression:
To calculate the freezing point aqueous solution of ethylene glycol in ethanol, we subtract
So the freezing point of given solutions are
a)
b)
c)
i.e.
Therefore, the increasing order of freezing point of given solution is,
b)
Conclusion:
Depression in freezing point can be used to find out the freezing point of solution using normal freezing point of pure solvent.
