Question

1. Suppose that you add 27.5 g of an unknown molecular compound to 0.250 kg of benzene, which has a Kf of 5.12 oC/m. With the added solute, you find that there is a freezing point depression of 3.58 oC compared to pure benzene. What is the molar mass (in g/mol) of the unknown compound?

2. What is the freezing point (in degrees Celcius) of 3.70 kg of water if it contains 187.4 g of CaBr2? The freezing point depression constant for water is 1.86 oC/m and the molar mass of CaBr2 is 199.89 g/mol.

3. What mass, in grams, of NaCl needs to be added to 1.6 kg of water in order to create a solution with a freezing point of -5.6 °C? The freezing point depression constant of water is 1.86 ºC/m.
