150 g of acetic acid was contaminated with 10.2 g ascorbic acid C6H8O6 to lower down its freezing point by x×10-1°C. The value of x is____ (Nearest integer). [Given Kf=3.9 K kg mol-1; Molar mass of ascorbic acid =176 g mol-1]

Solution

Given 150 g of solvent CH3COOH

And as solute 10.2 g ascorbic acid =10.2176 = 0.058 moles

ΔTf=x×10-1°C

ΔTf=kf· molality

=3.9×0.058150×1000

=1.5 °C

=15×10-1 °C

So, value of x=15.
