Capitolo 14, Problema 77

A glucose solution contains 55.8 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in 455 g of water. Determine the freezing point and boiling point of the solution.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the colligative properties involved: freezing point depression and boiling point elevation.
Calculate the molality (m) of the solution using the formula: \( m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{kilograms of solvent}} \). First, find the moles of glucose by dividing the mass of glucose by its molar mass.
Use the freezing point depression formula: \( \Delta T_f = i \cdot K_f \cdot m \), where \( i \) is the van't Hoff factor (1 for glucose), \( K_f \) is the cryoscopic constant for water, and \( m \) is the molality.
Use the boiling point elevation formula: \( \Delta T_b = i \cdot K_b \cdot m \), where \( K_b \) is the ebullioscopic constant for water.
Determine the new freezing and boiling points by subtracting \( \Delta T_f \) from the normal freezing point of water (0°C) and adding \( \Delta T_b \) to the normal boiling point of water (100°C).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Colligative Properties

Colligative properties are physical properties of solutions that depend on the number of solute particles in a given amount of solvent, rather than the identity of the solute. These properties include boiling point elevation and freezing point depression, which occur when a solute is added to a solvent, affecting the solvent's phase changes.

Colligative Properties

Freezing Point Depression

Freezing point depression is a colligative property that describes the decrease in the freezing point of a solvent when a solute is dissolved in it. The extent of freezing point depression can be calculated using the formula ΔTf = i * Kf * m, where ΔTf is the change in freezing point, i is the van 't Hoff factor, Kf is the freezing point depression constant, and m is the molality of the solution.

Freezing Point Depression

Boiling Point Elevation

Boiling point elevation is another colligative property that refers to the increase in the boiling point of a solvent when a solute is added. This phenomenon can be quantified using the formula ΔTb = i * Kb * m, where ΔTb is the change in boiling point, i is the van 't Hoff factor, Kb is the boiling point elevation constant, and m is the molality of the solution.
