A solution of nonvolatile solute is obtained by dissolving \(15 \mathrm{~g}\) in \(200 \mathrm{~mL}\) water has depression in freezing point \(0.75 \mathrm{~K}\). Calculate the molar mass of solute if cryoscopic constant of water is \(1.86 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\).

  1. A \(160 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(172 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(186 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(198 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(186 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \mathrm{M}_2 & =\frac{1000 \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{f}} \mathrm{W}_2}{\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}} \mathrm{W}_1} \\ & =\frac{1000 \times 1.86 \times 15}{0.75 \times 200} \\ & =186 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\end{aligned}\)
