Part S: Boiling Point Elevation Problem  4 points

 

A solution of glycerol, C3H5(OH)3, in 735 g of water has a boiling point of 104.4 oC at a pressure of 760 mm Hg. What is the mass of glycerol in the solution? Assume the solute to be a nonvolatile solute and the kbp of water is + 0.52 oC/m .

 

   104.4 oC

  -100.0 oC

  -------------

        4.4 oC = ΔT

  

 ΔT = kbp m

4.4 oC = (+0.52 oC/m ) m

m = 8.46 m

 

Answer:

735 g H2O

Part T: Freezing Point Depression Problem   4 points

 

What mass of ethylene glycol, HOCH2CH2OH, must be added to 6.50 Kg of water to lower the freezing point of the water from 0.0 to -10.0 oC. (This is supersize car radiator) Assume the solute to be a nonvolatile solute and the kfp of water is - 1.86 oC/m .

 

 

  -10.0 oC

  -   0.0 oC

  -------------

        -10.0 oC = ΔT

  

 ΔT = kfp m

-10.00 oC = (-1.86 oC/m ) m
