What mass of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) is required to lower the freezing point of 50.0 g of water by 10.0oC?
Depression in freezing point = = 10 oC
Kf of ethylene glycol = 1.86
Formula to find depression in freezing point =
, Where m = molality of the solution
Molality of the solution =
Given mass of solvent = 50.0 g = 0.050 kg
So, now plugin molality and mass of solvent in the above formula
moles of ethylene glycol = 0.269 mol
Mass of ethylene glycol =
Mass of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) required = 16.7 g
