A solution is made by dissolving 0.579 mol of nonelectrolyte solute in 891 g of benzene. Calculate the freezing point, Tf, and boiling point, Tb, of the solution.
molality = moles of solute / mass of solvent (kg)
= 0.579 / 0.891
= 0.65 m
Solvent | Boiling Point (°C) | Kb(°C kg/mol) | Freezing Point (°C) | Kf (°C kg/mol) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Benzene | 80.1 | 2.65 | 5.5 | –5.12 |
Tf = kf x m
To - Tf = Kf x m
5.5 - Tf = 5.12 x 0.65
Tf = 2.17 oC
Tf = kf x m
Tb- To = Kb x m
Tb - 80.1 = 2.65 x 0.65
Tb = 81.82 oC
