Correct answer: C

The user wants me to solve a problem involving the colligative property of freezing point depression and identify the correct graphical representation.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Understand the phenomenon: When a non-volatile solute is added to a pure solvent, the vapor pressure of the solvent decreases. This results in a lowering of the freezing point of the solution. The freezing point is the temperature at which the liquid and solid phases of a substance have the same vapor pressure. On a vapor pressure vs. temperature graph, this is the intersection point of the solid and liquid phase curves.

  2. Calculate the moles of solute (ethanol): The molar mass of ethanol (C₂H₅OH) is given as 464646 g/mol. The mass of ethanol added is 34.534.534.5 g. Moles of ethanol=Mass of ethanolMolar mass of ethanol=34.5 g46 g/mol=0.75 mol\text{Moles of ethanol} = \frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{\text{Molar mass of ethanol}} = \frac{34.5 \text{ g}}{46 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.75 \text{ mol}Moles of ethanol=Molar mass of ethanolMass of ethanol​=46 g/mol34.5 g​=0.75 mol

  3. Calculate the molality (m) of the solution: Molality is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Mass of solvent (water) = 500500500 g = 0.50.50.5 kg. Molality (m)=Moles of soluteMass of solvent (kg)=0.75 mol0.5 kg=1.5 mol/kg\text{Molality (m)} = \frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent (kg)}} = \frac{0.75 \text{ mol}}{0.5 \text{ kg}} = 1.5 \text{ mol/kg}Molality (m)=Mass of solvent (kg)Moles of solute​=0.5 kg0.75 mol​=1.5 mol/kg

  4. Calculate the depression in freezing point (ΔTf): The formula for freezing point depression is ΔTf=Kf×m\Delta T_f = K_f \times mΔTf​=Kf​×m, where KfK_fKf​ is the freezing point depression constant. Given Kf=2K_f = 2Kf​=2 K kg/mol. ΔTf=Kf×m=(2 K kg/mol)×(1.5 mol/kg)=3 K\Delta T_f = K_f \times m = (2 \text{ K kg/mol}) \times (1.5 \text{ mol/kg}) = 3 \text{ K}ΔTf​=Kf​×m=(2 K kg/mol)×(1.5 mol/kg)=3 K The freezing point of the solution will be depressed by 333 K.

  5. Calculate the new freezing point of the solution (Tf): The freezing point of pure water (Tf0T_f^0Tf0​) is given as 273273273 K. The new freezing point (TfT_fTf​) is given by Tf=Tf0−ΔTfT_f = T_f^0 - \Delta T_fTf​=Tf0​−ΔTf​. Tf=273 K−3 K=270 KT_f = 273 \text{ K} - 3 \text{ K} = 270 \text{ K}Tf​=273 K−3 K=270 K

  6. Analyze the graphs: The graphs plot vapor pressure (V.P.) versus temperature (T).

    • The curve for the solid solvent (ice) is shown.

    • The curve for the liquid solvent (pure water) is shown, intersecting the solid's curve at 273273273 K, which is the freezing point of pure water.

    • The curve for the solution lies below the curve for the pure liquid solvent because the addition of a solute lowers the vapor pressure.

    • The freezing point of the solution is the temperature where its vapor pressure curve intersects the vapor pressure curve of the solid solvent. We need to find the graph where this intersection occurs at the calculated temperature of 270270270 K.

    • Option A: Shows the freezing point of the solution at 271271271 K. This is incorrect.

    • Option B: Shows the freezing point of the solution at 275275275 K. This represents a freezing point elevation, which is incorrect.

    • Option C: Shows the freezing point of the solution at 270270270 K. This matches our calculated value.

    • Option D: Shows the freezing point of the solution at 272272272 K. This is incorrect.

Therefore, the graph in option C correctly represents the change in the freezing point.
