To 500 cm3 of water 3.0 × 10–3 kg of acetic acid is added. If 23% of acetic acid is dissociated, what will be the depression in freezing point? Kf and density of water are 1.86 K kg mol–1 and 0.997g cm–3,

respectively.

The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.

Number of moles of acetic acid= 60gmol−13×10−3kg=60gmol−13g=0.05

Mass of water= m1=500cm3×0.997gcm−3=0.4985kg

Molality of acetic acid= m=m1n2=0.4985kg0.05mol=0.1003molkg−1

Dissociation of CH3COOH :

CH3COOH ⇌ CH3COO ⊝ +H ⊕

t=0 1 0 0

eqm 1−α α α

Total number of moles= i=1−α+α+α=1+α

as, ΔTf=iKfm

ΔT=(1+α)Kfm=(1+0.23)(1.86 K Kg mol−1)(0.1003 mol Kg−1)=0.228K
