Solutions and Colligative Properties - Result Question 60
31. To $500$ $ cm^{3}$ of water, $3.0 \times 10^{-3} kg$ of acetic acid is added. If $23 %$ of acetic acid is dissociated, what will be the depression in freezing point? $K _f$ and density of water are $1.86$ $ K$ $ kg^{-1} $ $mol^{-1}$ and $0.997 $ $g $ $cm^{-3}$, respectively.

Solution:
Mass of water $=500 \times 0.997 g=498.5 g$
$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Also } \underset{1-\alpha}{CH _3 COOH} {\rightleftharpoons} \underset{\alpha}{CH _3 COO^{-}}+\underset{\alpha}{H^{+}} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad i=1+\alpha=1.23 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad-\Delta T _f=i K _f \cdot m=1.23 \times 1.86 \times \frac{3}{60} \times \frac{1000}{498.5}=0.23^{\circ} C \end{aligned} $
