Question : 11
Total: 26
A 10% solution (by mass) of sucrose in water has freezing point of 269.15K. Calculate the freezing point of 10% glucose in water, if freezing point of pure water is 273.15K.
Given : (Molar mass of sucrose =342gmol1 )
(Molar mass of glucose =180gmol1 )
Solution:  
Tt=(273.15269.15)K=4K
Molar mass of sucrose (C12H22O11)
=(12×12)+(22×1)+(11×16)
=342gmol1
10% solution of sucrose in water means 10g of sucrose is present in (10010)g of water.
Number of moles of sucrose =
10
342

=0.0292mol
Therefore, molality of the solution
=
0.0292×1000
90
=0.3244molkg1

We know that Tt=Kf×m
Kf=
Tt
m
=
4
0.3244
=12.33KKgmol1
Molar mass of glucose (C6H12O6)
=(6×12)+(12×1)+(6×16) =180gmol1
10% solution of glucose in water means 10g of glucose is present in (10010)g of water.
Number of moles of glucose =
10
180
=0.0555mol

Therefore,molality of the solution
=
0.0555×1000
90

=0.6166molkg1
We know that Tt=Kf×m
Tt=12.33×0.6166=7.60K
So, the freezing point of 10% glucose solution in water is (273.157.60)K=265.55K
