45 g of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) is mixed with 600 g of water. Calculate the depression in freezing point.
(Kf for water = 1.86 K kg mol-1)

  1. A 2.25 K
  2. B 2.32 K
  3. C 2.7 K
  4. D 2.9 K
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2.25 K

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molar mass of C2H6O2 = \(2(12.01) + 6(1.008) + 2(16.00) = 62.068 \text{ g/mol}\) Molality (\(m\)) = \(\frac{45 \text{ g} / 62.068 \text{ g/mol}}{0.600 \text{ kg}} = 1.2083 \text{ mol/kg}\)…
