Calculate the mass of NaCl (molar mass = 58.5 g "mol"^(-1)] to be dissolved in 37.2 g of water to lower the freezing point by 2^@C, assuming that NaCl undergoes complete dissociation.

Answer»

Solution :APPLY the equation,
`M_2 = (K_f xx w_2 xx 1000)/(Delta T_f xx w_1)`
`58.5 = (1.86 xx w_2 xx 1000)/(2 xx 37.2) `
`w_2 = (58.5 xx 2 xx 37.2)/(1.86 xx 1000) = 2.34 g `
NaCl molecule ionises to give `Na^+` and `Cl^-`ions. Thus, ONE PARTICLE gives TWO particles in solution.
` THEREFORE ` Mass of NaCl required` = 1/2 xx 2.34 = 1.17 g`
