What mass of salt (NaCl) should you add to 1.06 L of water in an ice cream maker to make a solution that freezes at -11.0 ∘C ? Assume complete dissociation of the NaCl and density of 1.00 g/mL for water.

Explanation:

As the given data is as follows.

      Volume = 1.06 L,           [tex]\Delta T = -11.0^{0}C[/tex]

       [tex]k_{f}[/tex] for water = 1.853 ^{0}C m,     density = 1.00 g/mL

Relation between temperature change and [tex]k_{f}[/tex] is as follows.

                   [tex]\Delta T = c \times i \times k_{f}[/tex]

where,          c = concentration

                     i = Van't Hoff factor

                     [tex]k_{f}[/tex] = cryoscopic constant

When NaCl dissolves in water then it results in formation of sodium ions and chlorine ions. In means two ions are formed so, i = 2. Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                     [tex]\Delta T = c \times i \times k_{f}[/tex]

                        [tex]11 ^{0}C = c \times 2 \times 1.853 ^{0}C/m}[/tex]

                               c = 2.96

As molality is defined as number of moles of solute per kg of solvent.

So, mass of NaCl that should be added is calculated as follows.

           [tex]1.06 L \times \frac{2.96 \text{mol of NaCl}}{1 kg} \times \frac{58.5 g NaCl}{1 mol}[/tex]

                 = 183.54 g

Thus, we can conclude that mass of NaCl that should be added is 183.54 g.
