Question : 32
Total: 53
Calculate the depression in the freezing point of water when 10 g of CH3CH2CHClCOOH is added to 250 g of water. (Ka=1.4×103,Kf=1.86Kkgmol1)
Solution:  
Number of moles of CH3CH2CHClCOOH =
10
122.5
mole =8.16×102 mole
∴ Molality of the solution (m) =
8.16×102mol
250
×1000kg1
=0.3264m
If α is the degree of dissociation of CH3CH2CHClCOOH, then
