The molar mass of the unknown substance is 125 g/mol.

What is cyclohexane?

Cyclohexane is a colorless, flammable liquid which has a detergent like odor.

It is a cycloalkane whose formula i s $\bold{C_6H_1_2}$ .

Given,

Density is 0.779 g/ml

The freezing-point depression is 2.5ºc.

Mass is 0.2436-g

In kg = 0.0002436 kg

Now,

The depression in freezing point is equal to the molality of solution which is

$\bold{\Delta T_f= k_fm}$

where $\bold{ k_f}$ is equals to freezing point depression constant, which is equal to 20.0 ml.

Step 1: Calculating the molality

$\bold{m= \dfrac{\Delta T_f}{k_f} = \dfrac{2.5^\circ c}{20^\circ c\;kg/mol}=0.125\;mol/kg }$

Step 2: Calculating the Mass of cyclohexane

$\bold{m= d\times V= 0.779\;g/ml \times20\;ml =15.58\;g}$

Converting mass into kg

$\bold{1\;g= 10^-^3 kg}$

15.58 g = 0.01558 kg

Step 3: Calculating the number of moles

$\bold{n = \dfrac{mass}{molar\;mass} = \dfrac{0.0002436\;kg}{M} }$

Step 4: Expression for the molality of the solution

$\begin{aligned}\bold{m &= \dfrac{n_s_o_l_u_t_e}{m_s_o_l_u_t_e} \\\\0.125\;mol/kg & = \dfrac{0.015635}{M} \\\\M &= \dfrac{0.015635}{0.125\;mol/kg} = 0.1250\;kg/mol\\\\M &= 0.125\;kg/mol \dfrac{1000\;g}{1\;kg} = 125\;g/mol }\end{aligned}$

Thus, the molar mass of the substance is 125 g/ mol.

The depression in freezing point is related to molality of solution as follows:

$\Delta T_{f}=k_{f}m$

Here, $k_{f}$ is freezing point depression constant, for cyclohexane it is equal to 20°C kg/mol.

The value of freezing-point depression is 2.5 °C, molality can be calculated as follows:

$m=\frac{\Delta T_{f}}{k_{f}}=\frac{2.5 ^{o}C}{20 ^{o}C kg/mol}=0.125 mol/kg$

Molality is defined as number of moles of solute in 1 kg of solvent.

Here, solvent is cyclohexane, its volume is given 20.0 mL and density is 0.779 g/mol thus, mass of cyclohexane can be calculated as follows:

$m=d\times V=0.779 g/mL\times 20 mL=15.58 g$

Converting this into kg,

$1 g=10^{-3} kg$

Thus, 15.58 g will be 0.01558 kg.

Now, number of moles of unknown solute is related to its mass and molar mass as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Putting the values of mass of solute which is 0.2436 or 0.0002436 kg

$n=\frac{ 0.0002436 kg}{M}$

Now, expression for molality of solution is:

$m=\frac{n_{solute}}{m_{solvent}}$

Putting all the values,

$0.125 mol/kg=\frac{0.0002436 kg}{M\times 0.01558 kg}$

Or,

$0.125 mol/kg=\frac{0.015635}{M}$

On rearranging,

$M=\frac{0.015635}{0.125 mol/kg}=0.1250 kg/mol$

Or,

$M=0.125 kg/mol(\frac{1000 g}{1 kg})=125 g/mol$

Therefore, molar mass of unknown sample is 125 g/mol

Answer from: Quest

The statement that most describes one way global winds affect weather and climate is a. polar easterlies move cool air to mid-latitudes. this is correct because the closer an area is to the equator the hotter it is, therefore if the polar winds are being moved towards the mid-latitudes it cools them down.

Nconcentration refers to the molar concentration of an ion in solution. it may be identical to, or greater or less than, the molar concentration of the compound containing the ion that was used to make the solution. for soluble salts, the molarity of a particular ion is equal to the molarity of that compound times the subscript for that ion. for example, 1 m of alcl3 is 1 m in al3+ and 3 m in cl−. 1 m of (nh4)2so4 is 2 m in nh4+ and 1 m in so42−. part a what is the concentration of k+ in 0.15 m of k2s? view available hint(s) nothing m m part b if cacl2 is dissolved in water, what can be said about the concentration of the ca2+ ion? view available hint(s) if is dissolved in water, what can be said about the concentration of the ion? it has the same concentration as the cl− ion. its concentration is half that of the cl− ion. its concentration is twice that of the cl− ion. its concentration is one-third that of the cl− ion. part c a scientist wants to make a solution of tribasic sodium phosphate, na3po4, for a laboratory experiment. how many grams of na3po4 will be needed to produce 550 ml of a solution that has a concentration of na+ ions of 0.700 m ? express your answer numerically in grams. view available hint(s) mass of na3po4 n a 3 p o 4 = nothing g provide feedback
