Given:
Sucrose solution
=4%(w/w) M=342gmol−1 Freezing point of solution
=271.15K Freezing point of pure water
=273.15K Glucose solution
=5% M=180gmol−1 To calculate:
Freezing point of
5% glucose solution.
Formula:
ΔTf=i×Kf×m m=Kg of solventmoles of solute moles=molar massmass Sucrose solution is
4%(w/w) which means there is 4.0 grams of sucrose dissolved in
100g of solution.
Mass of solution
= mass of solute + mass of solvent
100.0g=4.0g+ mass of solvent.
Hence, mass of solvent
=100.0−4.0=96.0g 96g×1000g1kg=0.096kg Moles of solute

Glucose solution is
5%(w/w) which means there is 5.0 grams of glucose dissolved in
100g of solution.
Mass of solution
= mass of solute + mass of solvent
100.0g=5.0g+ mass of solvent.
Hence, mass of solvent
=100.0−5.0=95.0g 95.0g×1000g1kg=0.095kg Moles of solute
