The dissolution of 7.75 g of a substance in 825 g of benzene (C6H6) at 298 K raises the boiling point by 0.575 ◦C. Note that kf = 5.12 K kg mol−1 , kb = 2.53 K kg mol−1 , and the density of benzene is 876.6 kg m−3 . Calculate

(a) the freezing point depression,

(b) the ratio of the vapor pressure above the solution to that of the pure solvent,

(c) the osmotic pressure,

(d) and the molecular weight of the solute. Pbenzene = 103 Torr at 298 K.

a) The freezing point depression = 1.16 °C

b) Psolution = 101.2 torr   Psolution/Psolvent = 101.2 / 103 = 0.983

c) osmotic pressure π = 4.85 atm

d) Molecular weight = 41.4 g/mol

Explanation:

Step1 : Data given

Mass of substance = 7.75 grams

Mass of benzene = 825 grams

Boiling point elevation = 0.575 °C

Kf = 5.12 C/m

Kb = 2.53 C/m

Density = 876.6 Kg /m³ = 0.8766 g/mL

Step 2 Calculate the molaltiy

ΔT = i*Kb*m

⇒ΔT = the boiling point elevation = 0.575 °C

⇒i = the van't Hoff factor = 1

⇒Kb = the boiling point constant = 2.53 °C/m

⇒with m = TO BE DETERMINED

0.575 = 2.53 * m

m = 0.227 molal

Step 3: Calculate the freezing point depression

ΔT = i*Kf*m

⇒ΔT = the freezing point depressio, = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒i = the van't Hoff factor = 1

⇒Kb = the freezing point constant = 5.12 °C/m

⇒with m = 0.227 molal

ΔT = 5.12 °C/m * 0.227 m

ΔT = 1.16 °C

Step 4: Calculate the molar mass of the solute

Molality = moles / mass benzene

0.227 molal = moles / 0.825 kg

Moles substance =  0.227 * 0.825

Moles substance = 0.187 moles

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass substance = 7.75 grams / 0.187 moles

Molar mass substance = 41.4 g/mol

Step 5: Calculate  the ratio of the vapor pressure above the solution to that of the pure solvent,

Moles benzene = 825 grams / 78.11 g/mol

Moles benzene = 10.56 moles

Mol fraction benzene = 10.56 moles /(10.56 + 0.187 )

Mol fraction benzene =  0.983

Psolution = 103 * 0.983 = 101.2 atm

Step 5: Calculate moles substance

Moles substance = 7.75 grams / 41.4 g/mol

Moles substance = 0.187 moles

Step7: Calculate volume

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 825 * 10^-3 / 876.6

Volume = 0.942 L

Step 7 Calculate osmotic pressure

π = i*M*R*T = i n/V * R*T

⇒π = the osmotic pressure = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒i = the van't Hoff factor = 1

⇒M = the molar concentration = n/V  

⇒R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒T = the temperature = 298 K

π = 1 * (0.187 moles / 0.942L) * 0.08206 * 298 K

π = 4.85 atm

answer; ///(d) the correct answer is double or triple

thats a little if u want the answer just look it up on google thats what i do haha : )
