Question

The vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 23.8 torr. An aqueous solution was made by dissolving ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) in 100 grams of water causing a vapor pressure lowering of water in this solution to 23.3 torr. (Atomic mass of carbon - 12.01 g/mol, hydrogen - 1.008 g/mol, and oxygen - 16.00 g/mol)

(a) Determine the mass in grams of ethylene glycol added to the solution.

(b) Determine the boiling point and the freezing point of the solution. (Given that K= 0.512 °C/m and K= 1.86 °C/m for water)
