Kf for water is 1.86K kg mol–1. If your automobile radiator holds 1.0 kg of water, how many grams of ethylene glycol () must you add to get the freezing point of the solution lowered to –2.8oC ?
- A72 g
- B93 g
- C39 g
- D27 g
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Use freezing point depression formula
For ethylene glycol, there is no dissociation, so
Given:
- Lowering in freezing point , so
-
Calculate molality
-
Find moles of ethylene glycol needed
Molality is moles of solute per kg of solvent.
Since radiator contains of water,
-
Calculate molar mass of ethylene glycol
-
Calculate required mass
-
Match with options
Closest option is:
So the correct option is B.
-
Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: B
Derived answer: B
Hence, the answers agree.
