25 mL of an aqueous solution of KCl was found to require 20 mL of 1M AgNO3 solution when titrated using K2CrO4 as an indicator. What is the depression in freezing point of KCl solution of the given concentration?
(Nearest integer).

(Given : Kf=2.0 K kg mol-1 )

Assume
1) 100% ionization and
2) density of the aqueous solution as 1 g mL-1

Solution

At equivalence point,

mmole of KCl= mmole of AgNO3

=20 mmole

Volume of solution =25ml

Mass of solution(ρ = 1 g/mL)

=25 gm

Formula unit mass of potassium chloride = 39 + 35.5 gmol-1 = 74.5 gmol-1

Thus, Mass of solvent

=25- mass of solute

=25-20×10-3×74.5

=23.51 gm

Thus, molality of KCl= mole of KCl mass of solvent in kg

=20×10-323.51×10-3=0.85

i of KCl=2(100% ionisation )

ΔTf=i×Kf×m

=2×2×0.85

=3.4

3 K
