JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2017 - 8th April Morning Slot - No. 21)

5 g of Na2SO4 was dissolved in x g of H2O. The change in freezing point was found to be 3.82oC. If Na2SO4 is 81.5% ionised, the value of x

(Kf for water=1.86oC kg mol−1) is approximately :

(molar mass of S = 32 g mol−1 and that of Na = 23 g mol−1)
15 g
25 g
45 g
65 g

Explanation

Na2SO4 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2Na+ + SO4-2
Initial 1 mol 0 0
After dissociation 1 - x 2x x


$$\therefore\,\,\,$$ Total no of Moles after dissociation = 1 + 2x

Na2SO4 is ionised 81.5% means x = 0.815

Von't Hoff factor (i) = $${{Moles\,\,after\,\,dissociation} \over {Initial\,\,no.\,\,of\,\,moles}}$$

= $${{1 + 2x} \over 1}$$

= 1 + 2 $$ \times $$ 0.815

= 2.63

$$\therefore\,\,\,$$ $$\Delta $$Tf = $${{1000 \times {K_f} \times {w_2} \times i} \over {{M_S} \times {w_1}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\,$$ 3.82 = $${{1000 \times 1.86 \times 2.63 \times 5} \over {142 \times x}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\,$$ x = 45 gm
