An aqueous solution of sodium bromide (MW = 102.9 g/mol) freezes at -1.09 oC. What is the total molality of solute particles? Based on this information, how many grams of sodium bromide would be present in one kg solvent? Assume an ideal value for the van't Hoff factor. |

Let "x" grams of the solute (Sodium Bromide) be dissolved in 1 Kg of water. Thus, the molal concentration, m = x/102.9 molal. Now, apply the equation, dT = -iKm, wher dT is the freezing depression, i is the vant Hoff factor, K is the freezing point depression constant and m is the molal concentration. In our case, dT = -1.09 0C, i = 2 (since the Sodium Bromide contains 2 ions), K = -1.86 (constant for water). Thus, (-1.09) = -(2) (-1.86) (x/102.9) => x = 30.15 grams. This answers the second question. The molality of the solute particles is the number of moles of solute in a kg of solvent. Thus, the molaity in our case is (30.15/102.9) = 0.29 molal. This answers the first question. |
