19- A solution is prepared by dissolving 1.27 g of an electrolyte whose molecular

mass is 310 in 50 g of water. The freezing point was found to be 0. 762 oC.
How many moles of solute particles are formed from each mole of solute.
Given kf of water = 1.86K kg mol-1 .
Tf = i Kf m
Or i = Tf
Kf m

eq.(1)

Molality of solution =Number of moles of solute

Kilogram of solvent
= 1.27 g x mol x 1000 Kg-1
310 g x 50
= 0.819 mol Kg-1 or 0.819 m

Substituting the value of m in eq.(1)

i = 0.762 K x m
1.86 K x 0.819m

=5

Thus 5moles of solute are formed for each mole of solute

26-The freezing point of a 0.08 m solution of NaHSO 4 is 0.372 C. Calculate the
dissociation constant for the reaction:
HSO4 H+ + SO42

Kf for water = 1.86Km1

NaHSO4 dissociates as :
NaHSO4 Na+ + HSO4
Since the concentration of NaHSO4 is 0.08 m
[Na+] = [HSO4 ] = 0.08m
Now , HSO4 also dissociates as : HSO4 H+ + SO42If is the degree of dissociation, then after dissociation at equilibrium
[ HSO4] = 0.08 (1 ) , [H+] = 0.08 , [ SO42-] =0.08

Total concentration of all ions [Na++ HSO4+H+ + SO42-]

Exist as monomer in acetone and dimer in benzene.Dimeric nature is due to
intermolecular H bonding .
