1- What is the boiling point of 0.66 molal pf benzene solution if the

boiling point of benzene = 80.1 oC and Kb for benzene = 2.53 oC/m

Answer

Given:

• Boiling point of pure benzene = 80.1°C

• 𝐾b for benzene = 2.53°C/m
• Molality of the benzene solution = 0.66 m

Calculating the change in boiling point:

Δ𝑇b = 𝐾b × 𝑚

Δ𝑇b = 2.53°C/m × 0.66 m

Δ𝑇b = 1.67°C

The new boiling point of the 0.66 molal benzene solution is:

New boiling point = Boiling point of pure benzene + Δ𝑇b

New boiling point = 80.1°C + 1.67°C

New boiling point = 81.77°C

Therefore, the boiling point of the 0.66 molal benzene solution is 81.77°C.

2- If 8.4 g NaCl dissolved in 250 ml of water.

What will be the freezing point of the solution If Kf of H2O = 1.86 oC/m

and density of water = 1.0 g/ml (M.F. of NaCl = 58.45 g/mol)

Answer

"To calculate the freezing point of the NaCl solution, we need to find the molality of the
solution and then use the freezing point depression formula.

Given:

• Mass of NaCl = 8.4 g

• Volume of water = 250 mL
• Freezing point depression constant (Kf) for water = 1.86°C/m
• Density of water = 1.0 g/mL
• Molar mass of NaCl = 58.45 g/mol

Step 1: Calculate the molality of the NaCl solution.

Molality = Moles of solute / Mass of solvent in kg

Moles of NaCl = 8.4 g / 58.45 g/mol = 0.144 mol

Mass of water = 250 mL × 1.0 g/mL = 250 g

Molality = 0.144 mol / 0.25 kg = 0.576 m

Step 2: Calculate the freezing point depression.

Freezing point depression = Kf × Molality

Freezing point depression = 1.86°C/m × 0.576 m = 1.07°C

Step 3: Calculate the new freezing point of the solution.

New freezing point = Freezing point of pure water - Freezing point depression

New freezing point = 0°C - 1.07°C = -1.07°C

Therefore, the freezing point of the 8.4 g NaCl solution in 250 mL of water is -1.07°C."
