JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 8.2 Carboxylic acids and their derivative

\(150\,g\) of acetic acid was contaminated with \(10.2\,g\) ascorbic acid \(\left( C _{6} H _{8} O _{6}\right)\) to lower down its freezing point by \(\left( x \times 10^{-1}\right)^{\circ} C\). The value of \(x\) is (Nearest integer) [Given \(K _{ f }=3.9\,K\,kg\,mol ^{-1}\);Molar mass of ascorbic acid \(=176\,g\,mol ^{-1}\) ]

  1. A \(14\)
  2. B \(13\)
  3. C \(15\)
  4. D \(11\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(15\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(150\,g CH _{3} COOH\) \(10.2\,g\) ascorbic acid \(\Rightarrow 0.058\) moles \(\Delta T _{ f }=\left( x \times 10^{-1}\right)^{\circ} C\) \(\Delta T _{ f }= k _{ f } \cdot \text { molality }\) \(=3.9 \times \frac{0.058}{150} \times 1000\) \(=1.5^{\circ}\,C\)…
