Ans: Depression in the freezing point is a colligative property that geenrally occur when a non volatile solute is added to the solvent, this will lead to the freezing point of the solvent to decrease. The formula for the same is as follows:
ΔTf = K_f x m
Where,
ΔTf is the depression of the freezing point
Kf is the cryoscopic constant
M is the molality of the solution.
First we can calculate the molality, m= m xW/w
Substituting the values:
Kf= 1.86 g mol-1
w= 45g
W= 600g
m(C2H6O2) = 62
ΔT_f = 1.86 °C kg/mol * 1.208 mol/kg
≈ 2.24 °C
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.
For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.
The solutions can be classified into three types:
On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:
