JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 -1. Solution and colligative properties

The depression in freezing point observed for a formic acid solution of concentration \(0.5\,mL\,L ^{-1}\) is \(0.0405^{\circ}\,C\). Density of formic acid is \(1.05\,g\,mL ^{-1}\). The Van't Hoff factor of the formic acid solution is nearly: (Given for water \(k _{ f }=1.86\,K\,kg\,mol ^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(0.8\)
  2. B \(1.1\)
  3. C \(1.9\)
  4. D \(2.4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\([ HCOOH ]=0.5\,ml\,1^{-1}\) \(\Rightarrow\left(0.5 ml \times 1.05\,g\,ml ^{-1}\right) HCOOH\) in \(1 L\) \(\Rightarrow 0.525\,g\,HCOOH\) in \(1\,L\) \(m =\frac{(0.525 / 46)}{1\,kg } mol\) [Assuming dilute solution]…
