John dissolves .5g of a white powder in 25g of benzene (FP 5oC) (kf benzene is 5.1) and finds the solution freezes at 3.7oC. Determine the MW of the compound!

The compound has a molar mass of 78.4 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Mass of a sample = 0.5 grams

Mass of benzene = 25 grams

Freezing poing = 5 °C

Kf of benzene = 5.1 °C/m

Freezing point solution = 3.7 °C

Step 2: Calculate molality

ΔT = i*Kf*m

⇒with ΔT = the freezing point depression = 5.0 - 3.7 = 1.3 °C

⇒with i = the can't hoff factor = 1

⇒with Kf = the freezing point depression constant of benzene = 5.1 °C/m

⇒with m = the molality

1.3 = 5.1 * m

m = 1.3 / 5.1

m = 0.255 moles /kg

Step 3: Calculate moles

Molality = moles / mass benzene

0.255 molal = moles / 0.025 kg

Moles = 0.255 molal * 0.025 kg

Moles = 0.006375 moles

Step 4: Calculate molar mass of the compound

Molar mass compund = mass / moles

Molar mass compound = 0.5 grams / 0.006375 moles

Molar mass compound = 78.4 g/mol

The compound has a molar mass of 78.4 g/mol
