JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2022 - 29th June Morning Shift - No. 12)

1.2 mL of acetic acid is dissolved in water to make 2.0 L of solution. The depression in freezing point observed for this strength of acid is 0.0198$$^\circ$$C. The percentage of dissociation of the acid is ___________. (Nearest integer)

[Given : Density of acetic acid is 1.02 g mL$$-$$1, Molar mass of acetic acid is 60 g mol$$-$$1, Kf(H2O) = 1.85 K kg mol$$-$$1]

Answer
5

Explanation

$\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{b}}=\mathrm{i} \times \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}} \times \mathrm{m}$

Moles of solute $($ acetic acid $)=\frac{1.2 \times 1.02}{60}$

As moles of solute are very less.

So, take molarity and molality the same.

$0.0198=\mathrm{i} \times 1.85 \times \frac{1.2 \times 1.02}{60 \times 2}$

$\mathrm{i}=1.05$

$\alpha=\frac{i-1}{n-1}=\frac{0.05}{1}= 0.05 = 5\text{%}$
