Question

# A $$10$$% solution (by mass) of sucrose in water has a freezing point of $$269.15\ K$$. Calculate the freezing point of $$10$$% glucose in water if the freezing point of pure water is $$273.15\ K$$.(Given : molar mass of sucrose $$= 342\ g\ mol^{-}$$, Molar mass of glucose $$= 180\ g\ mol^{-1}$$)

A
275. 53 K
B
265. 53 K
C
271. 32 K
D
282.43 K

Solution

## The correct option is B 265. 53 KFor sucrose,$$\Delta T_f=K_fm$$$$\Delta T_f=K_f\times \cfrac {10}{342}\times \cfrac {1}{Mass\quad of\quad solvent} \longrightarrow (1)$$For glucose,$$\Delta T_f=K_f\times \cfrac {10}{180}\times \cfrac {1}{Mass\quad of\quad solvent}\longrightarrow (2)$$Both have the same mass of solventDivide equation (1) & (2)$$\Rightarrow \cfrac {\Delta T_f (sucrose)}{\Delta T_f (glucose)}=\cfrac {180}{342}$$$$\Rightarrow \cfrac {T_f^o-T_f (sucrose)}{T_f^o-T_f (glucose)}=\cfrac {180}{342}$$$$\Rightarrow \cfrac {273.15-269.15}{273.15-T_f}=\cfrac {180}{342}$$$$\Rightarrow \cfrac {4}{273.15-T_f}=0.526$$$$\Rightarrow \cfrac {4}{0.526}=273.15- T_f$$$$\Rightarrow T_f=273.15-\cfrac {4}{0.526}$$$$\Rightarrow T_f= 273.15-7.6$$$$\Rightarrow T_f=265.54K$$Chemistry
