Sample Problem

PROBLEM: You add 1.00 kg of ethylene glycol (C2H602) antifreeze to

4450 g of water in your car's radiator. What are the
boiling and freezing points of the solution?

GIVEN: •Mass of solute (C2H602) = 1.00 kg = 1000g

 Mass of solvent (H20) = 4450 g = 4.450
kg
 Kb of water = 0.512 °C • kg/ mol
 Kf of water = 1.86 °C • kg/ mol
 Computed Molar Mass of Solute = 62.07
g/mol
 Boiling Point of Solvent (H20) = 100 °C
 Freezing point of the solvent (H20) = 0.0
°C
 Boiling Point of the Solution = Boiling
Point of Solvent + LsTb
 Freezing Point of Solution = Freezing
Point of Solvent —
