19.5 g of CH2FCOOH\mathrm{CH_2FCOOH} is dissolved in 500 g of water. The depression in the freezing point observed is 1.0°C. Calculate the van’t Hoff factor and dissociation constant of fluoroacetic acid. KfK_f for water is 1.86 K kg mol1\text{mol}^{-1}.
Solution:  
Given, w2=19.5 g, w1=500 gw_{2}=19.5\ \text{g},\ w_{1}=500\ \text{g}
Kf=1.86 K kg mol1K_{f}=1.86\ \text{K kg mol}^{-1}, (ΔTf)obs=1.0C, M2=?(\Delta T_f)_{\text{obs}}=1.0^{\circ}\text{C},\ M_2=?
M2\therefore M_2 (observed)=1000Kfw2w1ΔTf= \frac{1000 K_f w_2}{w_1 \Delta T_f} =1000×1.86×19.5500×1.0= \frac{1000 \times 1.86 \times 19.5}{500 \times 1.0} =72.54 g mol1=72.54\ \text{g mol}^{-1}
M2M_2 (calculated) for CH2FCOOH=78 g mol1\mathrm{CH_2FCOOH} = 78\ \text{g mol}^{-1}
van’t Hoff factor (i)=(M2)cal(M2)obs=7872.54=1.0753(i)= \frac{(M_2)_{\text{cal}}}{(M_2)_{\text{obs}}}= \frac{78}{72.54}=1.0753
Calculation of dissociation constant :
Suppose degree of dissociation at the given concentrationis α.
ThenCH2FCOOHCH2FCOO+H+InitialC00At eqm.C(1α)CαCα\begin{array}{c c c c c c} \text{Then} & \mathrm{CH_2FCOOH} & \rightarrow & \mathrm{CH_2FCOO^{-}} & + & \mathrm{H^{+}} \\ \text{Initial} & C & & 0 & & 0 \\ \text{At eqm.} & C(1-\alpha) & & C\alpha & & C\alpha \end{array}
Total = C(1 + α)
i=C(1+α)C=1+α\therefore i= \frac{C(1+\alpha)}{C}=1+\alpha or, α=i1=1.07531=0.0753\alpha=i-1=1.0753-1=0.0753
Again Ka=[CH2FCOO][H+][CH2FCOOH]K_{a}= \frac{[\mathrm{CH_2FCOO}^{-}][\mathrm{H}^{+}]}{[\mathrm{CH_2FCOOH}]} =Cα×CαC(1α)=Cα21α= \frac{C \alpha \times C \alpha}{C(1-\alpha)} = \frac{C \alpha^2}{1-\alpha}
Taking volume of the solution as 500 mL,
C=19.578×1500×1000=0.5 MC= \frac{19.5}{78} \times \frac{1}{500} \times 1000 = 0.5\ \text{M}
Ka=Cα21α=(0.5)(0.0753)210.0753\therefore K_{a}= \frac{C \alpha^2}{1-\alpha}= \frac{(0.5)(0.0753)^2}{1-0.0753} =3.07×103= 3.07 \times 10^{-3}
