Question

3.24 g of Hg(NO3)2(molar mass=324) dissolved in 1000 g of water constitutes a solution having a freezing point of 0.0558oC while 21.68 g of HgCl2 (Molar mass = 271) in 2000 g of water constitutes a solution with a freezing point of 0.0744oC. The Kf for water is 1.86K.Kgmol. About the state of ionization of these two solids in water it can be inferred that

A
Hg(NO3)2 and HgCl2 both are completely ionized

Solution

The correct option is B Hg(NO3)2 is fully ionized but HgCl2 is fully unionized
We know,

ΔTf=i×m×Kf

Now,

0.0558=i×3.24324×10001000×1.86i=3 (100% dissociated)
0.0744=i×21.68271×10002000×1.86i1 (almost undissociated)
