What are the boiling point and freezing point of a 2.47 m solution of naphthalene in benzene? (The boiling point and freezing point of benzene are 80.1°C and 5.5°C, respectively.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The boiling point of a 2.47 m solution of naphthalene is 86.25°C.

The freezing point of a 2.47 m solution of naphthalene is -8.53°C.

Explanation:

Elevation in boiling point:

[tex]\Delta T_b=T_b-T[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T_b=K_b\times m[/tex]

where,

[tex]\Delta T_b[/tex] =elevation in boiling point =  

[tex]K_b[/tex] = Boiling point constant  of solvent

[tex]T_b,T[/tex] = boiling point of solution and pure solvent

m = molality

we have :

[tex]K_b[/tex] =2.53°C/m ,  

m = 2.47m

[tex]\Delta T_b=2.53^oC\times 2.47m[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T_b=6.25^oC[/tex]

Boiling point of pure benzene= T =  80.1°C

Boiling point of solution = [tex]T_b[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T_b=T_b-T[/tex]

[tex]T_b=T+\Delta T_f=6.25^oC+80.1^oC=86.35^oC[/tex]

The boiling point of a 2.47 m solution of naphthalene is 86.25°C.

Depression in freezing point:

[tex]\Delta T_f=T-T_f[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T_f=K_f\times m[/tex]

where,

[tex]\Delta T_f[/tex] =depression in freezing point =  

[tex]K_f[/tex] = freezing point constant  of solvent

[tex]T_f,T[/tex] = freezing point of solution and pure solvent

m = molality

we have :

[tex]K_f[/tex] =5.12°C/m ,  2.53

m = 2.47m

[tex]\Delta T_f=5.12^oC\times 2.47m[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T_f=14.03^oC[/tex]

Freezing point of pure benzene= T =  5.5°C

Freezing point of solution = [tex]T_f[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T_f=T-T_f[/tex]

[tex]T_f=T-\Delta T_f=5.5^oC-14.03^oC=-8.53^oC[/tex]

The freezing point of a 2.47 m solution of naphthalene is -8.53°C.
