Acetic acid dissociates as \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COO}^{\ominus}+\mathrm{H}^{\oplus}\)
To solve the problem, we'll calculate the freezing point depression of the acetic acid solution in water.
\( \text{Mass of acetic acid} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Density} = 5 \, \text{mL} \times 1.2 \, \text{g/mL} = 6 \, \text{g} \)
\( \text{Moles of acetic acid} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{6 \, \text{g}}{60 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.1 \, \text{mol} \)
\( \text{Molality (m)} = \frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent (kg)}} = \frac{0.1 \, \text{mol}}{1 \, \text{kg}} = 0.1 \, \text{mol/kg} \)
\( \alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K_a}{C}} = \sqrt{\frac{6.25 \times 10^{-5}}{0.1}} = \sqrt{6.25 \times 10^{-4}} = 25 \times 10^{-3} = 0.025 \)
\( i = 1 + (\text{number of ions produced} - 1) \times \alpha = 1 + (2-1) \times 0.025 = 1 + 0.025 = 1.025 \)
\( \Delta T_f = i \times K_f \times \text{Molality} = 1.025 \times 1.86 \times 0.1 = 0.19065 \, \text{K} \)
\( \text{Freezing point of solution} = 0 \, ^\circ \text{C} - 0.19065 \, ^\circ \text{C} = -0.19065 \, ^\circ \text{C} \)
Here, \(-x \times 10^{-2} \, ^\circ \text{C}\) is given. Therefore, \(x = 19\) (nearest integer).
So, the final answer is:

[Given \(\mathrm{K}_{f}=3.9 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\); molar mass of ascorbic acid \(=176 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)]
What is the freezing point depression constant of a solvent, 50 g of which contain 1 g non volatile solute (molar mass \(256 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) ) and the decrease in freezing point is 0.40 K ?
To find the freezing point depression constant (\( K_f \)) of the solvent, we use the formula for freezing point depression:
\( \Delta T_f = K_f \cdot m \)
Given:
The decrease in freezing point \(\Delta T_f\) is 0.40 K.
The mass of the solute is 1 g and its molar mass is 256 g/mol.
The mass of the solvent is 50 g (or 0.050 kg).
First, calculate the molality (\( m \)):
Molality is defined as the moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Calculate moles of solute:
\( \text{Moles of solute} = \frac{1 \, \text{g}}{256 \, \text{g/mol}} = \frac{1}{256} \, \text{mol} \)
Calculate molality (\( m \)):
\( m = \frac{\frac{1}{256} \, \text{mol}}{0.050 \, \text{kg}} = \frac{1}{256 \times 0.050} \, \text{mol/kg} \)
Now, substitute into the formula to find \( K_f \):
\( 0.4 = K_f \cdot \frac{1}{256 \times 0.050} \)
Solving for \( K_f \):
\( K_f = 0.4 \cdot 256 \times 0.050 = 5.12 \, \text{K kg/mol} \)
Thus, the freezing point depression constant of the solvent is \( 5.12 \, \text{K kg/mol} \).
The freezing point depression of a 0.1 m aqueous solution of a monobasic weak acid HA is 0.20 °C. The dissociation constant for the acid is
Given: \(K_f\)(H2O) = 1.8 K kg mol−1, molality ≡ molarity
Freezing Point Depression:
\( \Delta T_f = i \times K_f \times m \)
Given:
\( \Delta T_f = 0.2 \, \text{°C}, \quad K_f = 1.8 \, \text{K kg mol}^{-1}, \quad m = 0.1 \, \text{m} \)
Substituting the given values:
\( 0.2 = i \times 1.8 \times 0.1 \)
Solving for \(i\):
\( i = \frac{0.2}{1.8 \times 0.1} = \frac{20}{18} = \frac{10}{9} \)
Degree of Dissociation (\(\alpha\)):
For the reaction \(\mathrm{HA} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}^{+} + \mathrm{A}^{-}\):
\( i = 1 + \alpha \)
Given \(i = \frac{10}{9}\):
\( \frac{10}{9} = 1 + \alpha \)
\( \alpha = \frac{1}{9} \)
Dissociation Constant (\(K_{eq}\)):
\( \mathrm{K}_{eq} = \frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]} \)
At equilibrium:
\( [H^+] = [A^-] = \alpha \times C = \frac{1}{9} \times 0.1 \)
\( [HA] = 0.1 \times (1 - \alpha) = 0.1 \times \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right) \)
Substituting these into \(K_{eq}\):
\( \mathrm{K}_{eq} = \frac{(0.1 \times \frac{1}{9})^2}{0.1 \times \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right)} \)
Simplifying:
\( \mathrm{K}_{eq} = \frac{0.1 \times \left(\frac{1}{81}\right)}{0.1 \times \frac{8}{9}} = \frac{1}{720} \)
Therefore:
\( \mathrm{K}_{eq} = 1.38 \times 10^{-3} \)

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I): NaCl is added to the ice at 0°C, present in the ice cream box to prevent the melting of ice cream.
Statement (II): On addition of NaCl to ice at 0°C, there is a depression in freezing point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Statement I : Correct
NaCl addition to ice causes preventing the melting of ice. On adding NaCl to ice, freezing point lowers. This creates a colder mixture, preventing the ice cream from melting.
Melting point of ice is 0\(^\circ\)C. When only ice is used to make ice cream, at 0\(^\circ\)C ice starts melting by absorbing the energy from its environment in the form of heat. Addition of salt to ice while making the cream lowers the freezing point of the ice, allowing it to reach a colder temperature and thus the ice cream mixture freezes properly, So, the salt causes ice to melt at a lower temperature than pure ice.
Statement II : Correct
Decrease in freezing point while addition of NaCl to ice at 0\(^\circ\)C is due to the colligative property depression in freezing point.
So, both the statements are correct.
Both statement I and statement II are true.
Consider the given plots of vapour pressure (VP) vs temperature(T/K). Which amongst the following options is correct graphical representation showing \(\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}\), depression in the freezing point of a solvent in a solution?
On adding non-volatile solute in a solvent, the freezing point of solution decreases.
\(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}<\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}^0\)
F.P. of solution \(<\) F.P. of pure solvent
Also V.P. of solution decreases on adding nonvolatile solute in a solvent.

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I) : Molal depression constant \(\mathrm{K}_f\) is given by \(\frac{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{RT}_f}{\Delta \mathrm{~S}_{\mathrm{fus}}}\), where symbols have their usual meaning.
Statement (II) : \(\mathrm{K}_f\) for benzene is less than the \(\mathrm{K}_f\) for water.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Statement-I
Molar depression constant \(\mathrm{k}_f=\frac{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{RT}_f^2}{\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\text {fus }}}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{k}_f=\frac{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{RT}_{\mathrm{f}}}{\left[\frac{\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{fus}}}{\mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{f}}}\right]} \\ & \mathrm{k}_f=\frac{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{RT}_f}{\Delta \mathrm{~S}_{\text {fus }}} \end{aligned}\)
Hence statement-I is correct
but \(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}\) for benzene \(=5.12 \frac{{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\text { molal }}\)
\(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}\) for water \(=1.86 \frac{{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\text { molal }}\) Hence statement- II is incorrect
To determine the mass of ethylene glycol (antifreeze) needed to lower the freezing point of water to \(-24^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), we can use the freezing point depression equation, which is a colligative property given by:
\( \Delta T_f = i \cdot K_f \cdot m \)where:
However, molality is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent, so we first need to find the molality that corresponds to the desired freezing point depression:
\( \Delta T_f = -24^{\circ} \mathrm{C} - (0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}) = -24^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)Now, we can solve for \(m\):
\( m = \frac{\Delta T_f}{i \cdot K_f} \)Substituting the given values:
\( m = \frac{-24^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{1 \cdot 1.86 \mathrm{~K} ~\mathrm{kg} ~\mathrm{mol}^{-1}} \)Note that \(\mathrm{C}\) and \(\mathrm{K}\) are interchangeable when calculating changes in temperature. Now, we can compute the molality:
\( m = \frac{-24}{1.86} \)Next, we calculate the molality of the ethylene glycol:
\( m \approx -12.903 \mathrm{~mol} ~\mathrm{kg}^{-1} \)Keep in mind that molality is always positive, but the negative sign indicates the direction of the temperature change. Since we're calculating the amount needed, we can consider it as 12.903 moles per kilogram of water.
Now we calculate the moles of ethylene glycol required for \(18.6 \mathrm{~kg}\) of water:
\( \text{moles of ethylene glycol} = m \cdot \text{mass of water (in kg)} \) \( \text{moles of ethylene glycol} = 12.903 \mathrm{~mol} ~\mathrm{kg}^{-1} \cdot 18.6 \mathrm{~kg} \) \( \text{moles of ethylene glycol} \approx 240.0158 \mathrm{~mol} \)Next, we find the mass of ethylene glycol needed using its molar mass:
\( \text{mass of ethylene glycol} = \text{moles of ethylene glycol} \cdot \text{molar mass of ethylene glycol} \)Given the molar mass of ethylene glycol is \(62 \mathrm{~g} ~\mathrm{mol}^{-1}\), we then convert it to \(\mathrm{kg} ~\mathrm{mol}^{-1}\) by dividing by 1000:
\( \text{molar mass of ethylene glycol} = 0.062 \mathrm{~kg} ~\mathrm{mol}^{-1} \)Now we can calculate the mass:
\( \text{mass of ethylene glycol} = 240.0158 \mathrm{~mol} \cdot 0.062 \mathrm{~kg} ~\mathrm{mol}^{-1} \) \( \text{mass of ethylene glycol} \approx 14.88098 \mathrm{~kg} \)Therefore, approximately \(14.881 \mathrm{~kg}\) of ethylene glycol needs to be added to \(18.6 \mathrm{~kg}\) of water to lower the freezing point to \(-24^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
The solution from the following with highest depression in freezing point/lowest freezing point is
\(\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}\) is maximum when \(\mathrm{i} \times \mathrm{m}\) is maximum.
1) \(\mathrm{m}_1=\frac{180}{60}=3, \mathrm{i}=1+\alpha\)
Hence
\(\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=(1+\alpha) \cdot \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}=3 \times 1.86=5.58^{\circ} \mathrm{C}(\alpha<<1)\)
2) \(\mathrm{m}_2=\frac{180}{60}=3, \mathrm{i}=0.5, \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{3}{2} \times \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}{ }^{\prime}=7.68^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
3) \(\mathrm{m}_3=\frac{180}{122}=1.48, \mathrm{i}=0.5, \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{1.48}{2} \times \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}{ }^{\prime}=3.8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
4) \(\mathrm{m}_4=\frac{180}{180}=1, \mathrm{i}=1, \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=1 \cdot \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}{ }^{\prime}=1.86^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
As per NCERT, \(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}{ }^{\prime}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)=1.86 \mathrm{~k} \cdot \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
\(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}{ }^{\prime}(\text { Benzene })=5.12 \mathrm{~k} \cdot \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
What happens to freezing point of benzene when small quantity of napthalene is added to benzene?
When a small quantity of naphthalene is added to benzene, the freezing point of benzene decreases. This phenomenon is due to the colligative property known as freezing point depression. The addition of a solute, such as naphthalene, disrupts the orderly arrangement of solvent molecules in the solid phase, thereby lowering the freezing point.
Mathematically, the decrease in freezing point (\(\Delta T_f\)) can be represented by the equation:
\( \Delta T_f = i \cdot K_f \cdot m \)
where:
\(i\) is the van't Hoff factor (which is 1 for naphthalene as it does not dissociate in solution),
\(K_f\) is the cryoscopic constant of the solvent (benzene),
\(m\) is the molality of the solution.
Thus, the correct option is:
Option B: Decreases
