Solution

We have,

Mass of acetic acid, $W_{1} = 75 g$

Molar mass of the ascorbic acid

$(C_{6} H_{8} O_{6}),$

$M_{2} = 6 \times 12 + 1 \times 8 + 6 \times 16$

$= 176 g / m o l$

So, lowering of melting point, $Δ t f = 1.5 k$

By using formula:

$M_{2} = \frac{1000 k f W_{2}}{W_{1} Δ t f}$

$W_{2} = \frac{M_{2} \times W_{1} \times Δ t f}{1000 \times k f}$

$= \frac{(176 g / m o l) (75 g) (1.5 k)}{(1000 g k g^{- 1}) (3.9 k k g m o l^{- 1})}$

$W_{2} = 5.08 g$

Thus the required mass in ascorbic acid is $5.08 g$
