  • Molecular Weight by Freezing Point Depression

    You have to use molality equations Molality = moles of solute / kg of solvent Td = Kf x molality Hence, Td = Kf x moles of solute / kg of solvent Td x kg of solvent = Kf x mass of solute / MM of solute MM of solute = Kf x mass of solute

  • Freezing points of NaCl and FeCl3 in water

    To be more exact, the change in temperature (ΔT) can be determined by multiplying molality (m) by the molal freezing point constant for the solvent (Kf) using the equation: ΔT = m . Kf The accepted Kf value for water is 1.86 oC/m.

  • Molar Mass of a Compound

    dT = 5.4500 - 5.1686=0.2814 oC dT = Kf x molality Molality = .2814 / 5.070 = 0.0555 molal Molality = moles of solute / kg of solvent = (mass /molar mass of solute) / kg of solvent 0.0555 = 1/(MM x 0.1) Hence MM = 180 g/mol The molar mass

  • freezing point of naphthalene and benzene mixture

    dilute ideal solutions, the extent of freezing-point depression is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solution deltaTf = Kf · m where deltaTf = Tf(pure solvent benzene) - Tf(solution as water) = 5.53 - 0 = 5.53 Celsius degrees
