Textbook Question

Chapter 12, Problem 12.124QP

Certain fishes in the Antarctic Ocean swim in water at about −2°C. (a) To prevent their blood from freezing, what must be the concentration (in molality) of the blood? Is this a reasonable physiological concentration? (b) In recent years scientists have discovered a special type of protein in these fishes’ blood which, although present in quite low concentrations (≤ 0.001 m), has the ability to prevent the blood from freezing. Suggest a mechanism for its action.

(a) Suppose that you add 25.6 g of an unknown molecular compound to 0.250 kg of benzene, which has a Kf of 5.12 oC/m. With the added solute, you find that there is a freezing point depression of 2.64 oC compared to pure benzene. What is the molar mass (in g/mol) of the unknown compound? (b) What is the freezing point (in degrees Celcius) of 3.77 kg of water if it contains 170.1 g of CaBr2 ? The freezing point depression constant for water is 1.86 oC/m and the molar mass of CaBr2 is 199.89 g/mol. (c) What mass, in grams, of NaCl needs to be added to 1.6 kg of water in order to create a solution with a freezing point of -6.0 °C? The freezing point depression constant of water is 1.86 ºC/m. (d) What mass, in grams, of NaCl needs to be added to 1.6 kg of water in order to create a solution with a freezing point of -6.0 °C? The freezing point depression constant of water is 1.86 ºC/m.
