Calculate the freezing point of a solution of 30.0 g methyl salicylate, C7H6O2, dissolved in 800. g of benzene, C6H6. Kf for benzene is 5.10
Moles of methyl salicylate=30.0/122=0.246mol
Molality of solution=moles of solute/mass of solvent in kg
=0.246/0.800=0.307 m
Depression in freezing point, dTf=kf*molality
=5.10*0.307=1.568?
Freezing point of benzene=5.50-1.57
=3.93 ?
