What is the freezing point of a solution prepared from 45.0 g ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) and 85.0 g H2O? Kf of water is 1.86°C/m.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can analyze the colligative property of solutions - freezing point depression - for the formed solution when ethylene glycol mixes with water. Thus, since water freezes at 0 °C, we can compute the freezing point of the solution as shown below:

Whereas the van't Hoff factor for this solute is 1 as it is nonionizing and the molality is:

Thus, we obtain:
