JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 26th August Evening Shift - No. 20)

83 g of ethylene glycol dissolved in 625 g of water. The freezing point of the solution is ____________ K. (Nearest integer)

[Use : Molal Freezing point depression constant of water = 1.86 K kg mol$$-$$1]

Freezing Point of water = 273 K

Atomic masses : C : 12.0 u, O : 16.0 u, H : 1.0 u]
Answer
269

Explanation

kf = 1.86 kg/mol

T$$_f^o$$ = 273 K

solvent : H2O(625 g)

Solute : 83 g of ethylene glycol

$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\Delta$$Tf = kf $$\times$$ m

$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\left( {T_f^o - T_f^1} \right) = 1.86 \times {{83/62} \over {625/1000}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow 273 - T_f^1 = {{1.86 \times 83 \times 1000} \over {62 \times 625}} = {{154380} \over {38750}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow 273 - T_f^1 = 4$$

$$ \Rightarrow T_f^1 = 259$$ K
