Question

What is the boiling point of an aqueous solution that freezes at \(\mathrm{-6.7~^\circ C}\)?

Solution

Solution: Here, we are going to determine the boiling point.

Step1:

The depression of freezing point of a solution is calculated by the equation:

 Tf  = m x Kf                --------(1)

Where m is the molality of the solution  and Kf is the  freezing point depression constant for the solvent.

Similarly, the elevation of boiling  point of a solution is calculated by the equation:

 Tb = m x Kb        --------(2)

Where m is the molality of the solution  and Kb is the  boiling point elevation constant for the solvent.

Step2:

The freezing point of water = 0oC

Freezing point of the solution = -6.7oC

Therefore, depression in freezing point(Tf  ) =  0oC - (-6.7oC)
