(i) Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions
A solution of glucose (molar mass = 180 g mol\(^{-1}\)) in water has a boiling point of 100.20°C. Calculate the freezing point of the same solution. Molal constants for water \(K_f\) and \(K_b\) are 1.86 K kg mol\(^{-1}\) and 0.512 K kg mol\(^{-1}\) respectively.
Write the reactions involved when D-glucose is treated with the following reagents: (a) HCN (b) Br\(_2\) water
