A solution of of a compound having the empirical formula in of benzene is observed to freeze at . Calculate the molar mass of the solute and its molecular formula.
Solutions
VerifiedThe problem asks to determine the molar mass of the unknown solute and to identify its molecular formula using the given empirical formula .
In this example, the required conversions are
-
Calculate the molality of the solution from the depression in freezing point
-
From molality, determine the number of moles.
-
Determine the mass.
We are going to use this approach:
Where :
-
is the depression in the solution's freezing point
-
is the molal freezing-point depression constant.
-
m is the molality.
To calculate a solution's molality, divide the number of moles of solute by the mass of solvent (in kg).
