Depression in freezing point -

-

 

 

Mathematical Expression of Depression in Freezing point -

\Delta T_{f}= K_{f}\: m
 

- wherein

m = molarity of solvent 

K_{f} = cryoscopic  constant

    molal depress const

Units = \frac{K-K_{g}}{mole}

 

 

Vant Hoff factor (i) -

In case of electrolytes the observed colligative property is different from theoritical colligative property. There ratio is defined by Vant Haff factor

- wherein

i = \frac{observed}{theoritical}

 

 

 

 

K_{2}SO_{4}\rightarrow 2K^{+}+SO_{4}^{2+}

i=2+1=3

\\\Delta T_{f}=K_{f}\times i\times m\\\\\ \Delta T_{f}:=4(K\:\:kg/mol)\times 3 \times 0.03

\\\Delta T_{f}=0.36\:\:K


Option 1)

0.18\:K

Option 2)

0.24\:K

Option 3)

0.12\:K

Option 4)

0.36\:K
