The freezing point of an aqueous solution containing 23 g of \(C _2 H _5 OH\) in 1000 g of water, is
(Given \(K_f\) for water \(\left.=1.86 K kg mol ^{-1}\right)\)

  1. A \(-0.69^{\circ} C\)
  2. B \(-0.93^{\circ} C\)
  3. C \(0.93^{\circ} C\)
  4. D \(0.69^{\circ} C\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-0.93^{\circ} C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M_{C_2H_5OH} = 46 \text{ g/mol}\) \(m = \frac{23 \text{ g}}{46 \text{ g/mol} \times 1 \text{ kg}} = 0.5 \text{ mol/kg}\) \(\Delta T_f = K_f \cdot m = 1.86 \text{ K kg mol}^{-1} \times 0.5 \text{ mol/kg} = 0.93 \text{ K}\)…
