MOLALITY, BOILING AND FREEZING OF SOLUTIONS:

Important Notes to Remember:
*Molality = m = mole of solute / kg of solvent
*Solutions have lower freezing point and higher boiling point as compared to the pure solvent.
*To compute for the freezing point depression, use the equation:
Tf = Kfm(i)
Where :
Tf = freezing point depression
Kf = freezing point depression constant (specific for a given solvent)
(For H2O: Kf = 1.86 0C / m)
m = molality of solution
i = vant Hoff factor
If the solute is nonelectrolyte, i = 1
If the solute is an electrolyte, i = number of ions produced per mole of salt
dissolved in solution
*To compute for the freezing point of the solution, use the equation:
Freezing point of the solution = freezing point of the solvent - freezing point
depression
*To compute for the boiling point elevation, use the equation:
Tb = Kbm(i)
Where:
Tb = boiling point elevation
Kb = boiling point elevation constant (specific for a given solvent)
(For H2O: Kb = 0.512 0C / m)
m = molality of solution
i = vant Hoff factor
If the solute is nonelectrolyte, i = 1
If the solute is an electrolyte, i = number of ions produced per mole of salt
dissolved in solution
*To compute for the boiling point of the solution, use the equation:
Boiling point of the solution = boiling point of the solvent + boiling point elevation

1. What is the freezing , boiling point and molality of a solution with 150 grams of aluminum chloride dissolved in 350 ml of water?

Molality = m = mole solute / kg solvent

Mole AlCl3 = 150 g (1 mole AlCl3 / 133.34 g)
Mole AlCl3 = 1.125

Solving for kilogram of water:
