A 0.1539 molal aqueous solution of cane sugar (mol. mass = 342 g mol–1) has a freezing point of 271 K while the freezing point of pure water is 273.15 K. What will be the freezing point of an aqueous solution containing 5 g of gluocose (mol. mass = 180 g mol–1) per 100 g of solution?

Answer:

The molality of the cane sugar, m= 0.1539m
depression in freezing point Tf = 273.15-271
                                                 =2.15K

Since Tf = Kfm
 or KfTf/m  = 2.15k/0.1539m  = 13.97K/m

Now the weight of glucose , W2 = 5g
molecular mass of glucose, M2  =180g/mol

then Tf =Kfm

Tf =

Kf×W2×1000W1×M2  = 13.97×5×1000100×180 = 3.88K

then freezing point of solution = 273.15-3.88
                                              =263.27K

Why is the vapour pressure of a solution of glucose in water lower than that of water?

Answer:

The vapour pressure of a pure solvent decrease .
when a non-volatile solute is added to the solvent 
this is because on adding the solute a fewer number of water molecules are present at the surface which can evaporate as some of the area is occupied by -non- volatile solute molecules thereby decreasing the vapour pressure of the solution of the glucose in wateris lower than pure water.

The vapour pressure of water is 12.3 kPa at 300 K. Calculate the vapour pressure of a one molal solution of a non-volatile, non-ionic solute in water.

Solution
Step-1 what is given in problem
Vapour pressure of pure water = 12.3 kPa
We have 1 molal solution that means we have 1 moles of solute in 1kg of solvent
Step – 2 Find vapour pressure
The formula of vapour pressure when non-volatile liquid is added
Pressure = vapour pressure of pure liquid × molar fraction of liquid

P=P(pure)X  ...........1                                          

 Here we know the value of P(pure)so need to find the value of molar fraction X

moles fraction of compound = number of moles of compoundstotal number of moles      .....2
  
Here we know that number of moles of solute =1 moles
And need to find the moles of solvent (water)
                             
number of moles of water= mass of watermolar mass of water 

And we have mass = 1 kg and 1 kg is equal to 1000g
And molar mass of water H2O = 2×1 + 16 = 18 g/mol
Plug the value in equation (3) we get
Number of moles of water =1000 g / (18g/mol  )  =55.56 moles
Plug the value in equation (2) we get
The formula of molar fraction =55.5/(55.5+1)  = 0.9823
Now plug in equation (1 )we get
Partial fraction = 12.3×0.9823 = 12.08

A 6.90 M solution of KOH in water contains 30% by mass of KOH. Calculate the density of the KOH solution. [Molar mass of KOH = 56 g mol–1]


Answer;

Let the density of solution = d g/cm3
and volume of solution is = 1L = 1000 cm3

mass of the solution = d xV
                               = (1000d)g

6.90 M solution mean 1L solution contains 6.90 moles of KOH
therefore mass of KOH = 6.90 x 56 = 386.4g

but only 30% of the solutionby mass is KOH
therefore 

30/100 x (1000)d =386.4

and density is 1.288g/ cm3
