Assume that you were assigned BaCl2 in lab. The water in your test tube weighed 24.159 g. Following the procedure in the lab manual, you determined that freezing point of water is 0.05oC. You weighed out 1.188 g of salt and added it to the original test tube, then determined that the freezing point was -0.21oC. Based on these experimental parameters, calculate the van't Hoff factor for BaCl2.

A solution was prepared by dissolving 0.800 g of sulfur, Sg, in 100.0 g of acetic acid, HC2H3O2. Calculate the freezing point and boiling point of the solution.
A compound contains 42.9% C, 2.4% H, 16.6% N, and 38.1% O. The addition of 3.16 g of this compound to 75.0 mL of cyclohexane (d=0.779g/mL) gives a solution with a freezing point at 0.0C. Using Table 10.2, determine the molecular formula of the compound.
Calculate the freezing point and normal boiling points of each of the following aqueous solutions. (a) 2.63 m acetic acid (b) 33.0 % by mass lactose, C12H22O11 (c) 32.15 mL of ethylene glycol, C2H6O2(d=1.113g/mL) in 624 mL of water (d=1.00g/mL)
The vapor pressure of methanol, CH3OH, is 94 torr at 20 C. The vapor pressure of ethanol, C2H5OH, is 44 torr at the same temperature. (a) Calculate the mole fraction of methanol and of ethanol in a solution of 50.0 g of methanol and 50.0 g of ethanol. (b) Ethanol and methanol form a solution that behaves like an ideal solution. Calculate the vapor pressure of methanol and of ethanol above the solution at 20 C.
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly used to melt ice on roads during the winter. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is sometimes used for this purpose too. Let us compare the effectiveness of equal masses of these two compounds in lowering the freezing point of water, by calculating the freezing point depression of solutions containing 200. g of each salt in 1.00 kg of water. (An advantage of CaCl2 is that it acts more quickly because it is hygroscopic, that is. it absorbs moisture from the air to give a solution and begin the process. A disadvantage is that this compound is more costly.)
