Q.

The freezing point depression constant (Kf) of benzene is 5.12 K kg mol-1. The freezing point depression for the solution of molality 0.078 m containing a non-electrolyte solute in benzene is (rounded off up to two decimal places)             [2020]

1 0.20 K  
2 0.80 K  
3 0.40 K  
4 0.60 K  

Ans.

(3)

Given: Kf=5.12 K kg mol-1,  m=0.078 m

ΔTf=Kf×m=5.12×0.078=0.399360.40 K
