Properties such as boiling point, freezing point and vapour pressure of a pure solvent change when solute molecules are added to get homogeneous solution. These are called colligative properties. Applications of colligative properties are very useful in day-to-day life. One of its examples is the use of ethylene glycol and water mixture as anti-freezing liquid in the radiator of automobiles.

A solution M is prepared by mixing ethanol and water. The mole fraction of ethanol in the mixture is 0.9.

Given:

Freezing point depression constant of water $$\left( {K_f^{water}} \right) = 1.86$$ K kg mol$$^{-1}$$

Freezing point depression constant of ethanol $$\left( {K_f^{ethanol}} \right) = 2.0$$ K kg mol$$^{-1}$$

Boiling point elevation constant of water $$\left( {K_b^{water}} \right) = 0.52$$ K kg mol$$^{-1}$$

Boiling point elevation constant of ethanol $$\left( {K_b^{ethanol}} \right) = 1.2$$ K kg mol$$^{-1}$$

Standard freezing point of water = 273 K

Standard freezing point of ethanol = 155.7 K

Standard boiling point of water = 373 K

Standard boiling point of ethanol = 351.5 K

Vapour pressure of pure water = 32.8 mm Hg

Vapour pressure of pure water = 40 mm Hg

Molecular weight of water = 18 g mol$$^{-1}$$

Molecular weight of ethanol = 46 g mol$$^{-1}$$

In answering the following questions, consider the solutions to be ideal dilute solutions and solutes to be non-volatile and non-dissociative.

380.4 K

354.7 K

Explanation

$$\matrix{ {\mathop {{x_{ethanol}} = 0.1}\limits_{(\mathrm{Solute \equiv B})} } & : & {\mathop {{x_{water}} = 0.9}\limits_{(\mathrm{Solvent \equiv A})} } \cr } $$

$$\Delta {T_b} = {K_b}\,.\,m = {K_b}\,.\,{{{x_B}} \over {1 - {x_B}}} \times {{1000} \over {{M_{{w_A}}}}}$$

$$ = 0.52 \times {{0.1} \over {0.9}} \times {{1000} \over {18}} = 3.2\,K$$

$${T_b} = T_b^0 + \Delta {T_b} = 373 + 3.2 = 376.2\,K$$
