What is the freezing point of a solution prepared by dissolving 11.3 g of calcium nitrate (ca(no3)2, molar mass = 164 g/mol) in 115 g of water? the molal freezing point depression constant for water is 1.86 °c/m.

The freezing point of this solution is -3.34°C

Explanation:

Coligative property: Freezing point depression.

ΔT = Kf . m . i

ΔT = T° freezing pure solvent - T° freezing solution

Kf = Molal freezing point depression constant

m = molality

i = Van't Hoff factor (ionic particles dissolved)

Ca(NO₃)₂  → Ca²⁺  +  2NO₃⁻

We have 1 mol of Ca²⁺ and 2 mole of  NO₃⁻, so i = 3

0° - T° freezing solution = 1.86°C . m . 3

How do we calculate molality?- First of all, convert the grams to mole and afterwards, convert the grams to kg.

115 g = 0.115kg

Mole = Mass / molar mass

Mole = 11.3g / 164.08 g/m → 0.0688 m

0.0688 m / 0.115 kg = 0.60 m/kg

0° - T° freezing solution = 1.86°C/m . 0.60 m . 3

0° - T° freezing solution = 3.34°C

-3.34°C = T° freezing solution

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
