When HNO2 is dissolved in water, it partially dissociates according to the equation HNO2 ⇌ H+ + NO2-. A solution is prepared that contains 7.050 g of HNO2 in 1.000 kg of water. Its freezing point is -0.2929 °C. Calculate the fraction of HNO2 that has dissociated.

1
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 HNO2 by dividing the mass of HNO2 (7.050 g) by its molar mass (47.013 g/mol). Then, divide the moles of HNO2 by the mass of water in kilograms (1.000 kg).
The freezing point depression (\( \Delta T_f \)) is given by the formula: \( \Delta T_f = i \cdot K_f \cdot m \), where \( i \) is the van't Hoff factor, \( K_f \) is the freezing point depression constant for water (1.86 °C kg/mol), and \( m \) is the molality. Since the freezing point is -0.2929 °C, \( \Delta T_f = 0.2929 \) °C.
Rearrange the freezing point depression formula to solve for \( i \): \( i = \frac{\Delta T_f}{K_f \cdot m} \). Substitute the known values of \( \Delta T_f \), \( K_f \), and \( m \) to find \( i \).
The van't Hoff factor \( i \) is related to the degree of dissociation \( \alpha \) by the equation: \( i = 1 + \alpha \cdot (n - 1) \), where \( n \) is the number of particles the solute dissociates into. For HNO2, \( n = 2 \) (HNO2 dissociates into H+ and NO2-). Solve for \( \alpha \) using the calculated \( i \).
The fraction of HNO2 that has dissociated is equal to the degree of dissociation \( \alpha \). Express \( \alpha \) as a percentage to find the fraction of HNO2 that has dissociated.>

Dissociation of Acids

Dissociation refers to the process by which an acid separates into its constituent ions in solution. For weak acids like HNO2, this process is not complete, meaning only a fraction of the acid molecules dissociate into hydrogen ions (H+) and nitrite ions (NO2-). Understanding the degree of dissociation is crucial for calculating properties such as freezing point depression.

Freezing Point Depression

Freezing point depression is a colligative property that describes how the freezing point of a solvent decreases when a solute is added. The extent of this depression depends on the number of solute particles in solution, which can be calculated using the formula ΔTf = i * Kf * m, where 'i' is the van 't Hoff factor, 'Kf' is the freezing point depression constant, and 'm' is the molality of the solution.

Molality

Molality is a measure of concentration defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. It is expressed in moles per kilogram (mol/kg) and is particularly useful in colligative property calculations because it remains unaffected by temperature changes. In this problem, calculating the molality of the HNO2 solution is essential for determining the extent of freezing point depression and, subsequently, the fraction of dissociated HNO2.
