chem 116 quiz 3 Flashcards
when a solute is added to a liquid, the freezing point of the resulting solution is ? this is known as ?
lower than the freezing point of the pure liquid; freezing point depression
freezing point depression can be calculated by the equation
delta T = i m Kf
(delta T is freezing point depression, i is the Van’t Hoff factor, m is molality, and Kf is the freezing point depression constant)
Kf depends on
the solvent, not the solute
when is lowering the freezing point of a solvent useful?
salting roads during the winter
solution properties are defined as colligative if
the property depends only on the ratio of the number of particles of solute and solvent in the solution, not the identity of the solute
list some colligative properties
boiling point, vapor pressure, osmotic pressure, freezing point
the larger the ratio of particles of solute to solvent, the ? the deviation will be from that of the pure solvent
greater
with the addition of a solute, the boiling point will?, the vapor pressure and osmotic pressure ?, and the freezing point ?
boiling point - elevated
VP and OP - decreased
FP - depressed
the Van’t Hoff factor (i) is used in calculations to account for
the number of particles contributed to a solution by a solute
the concentration unit used in the calculation of freezing point depression is
molality
why use molality instead of molarity for FP depression calculations?
molality is independent of temperature effects on the density of the solution
in this lab, you will determine the freezing point depression constant, Kf, of a solvent by
adding a measured amount of a known impurity (solute)
you can calculate Kf because you can measure the change in temperature and calculate the concentration
moles solute =
solute mass / molar mass
molality is
moles solute / kg solvent
mole mass =
(i * Kf * solute mass) / (delta T * kg solvent)
