Q.

If the degree of dissociation of aqueous solution of weak monobasic acid is determined to be 0.3, then the observed freezing point will be _______% higher than the expected/theoretical freezing point. (Nearest integer)                   [2023]


Ans.

(30)

For monobasic acid, n=2

i=1+(n-1)α=1+(2-1)×0.3=1.3

% increase=(ΔTf)obs-(ΔTf)cal(ΔTf)cal×100

=i×Kf×m-Kf×mKf×m×100

=(i-1)×100=0.3×100=30%
