Answer:

62.06 g/mol

Explanation:

We are given that a solution containing 10 g of an unknown liquid and 90 g

Given mass of solute =[tex]W_B[/tex]=10 g

Given mass of solvent=[tex]W_A[/tex]=90 g

[tex]k_f=1.86^{\circ}C/m[/tex]

Freezing point of solution =-3.33[tex]^{\circ}[/tex]C

Freezing point of solvent =[tex]0^{\circ}[/tex]C

Change in freezing point =Depression in freezing point

=Freezing point of solvent - freezing point of solution=0+3.33=[tex]3.33^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T_f=\frac{W_B\times K_f\times 1000}{W_A\times M_B}[/tex]

[tex]M_B=\frac{10\times 1.86\times 1000}{3.33\times 90}[/tex]

[tex]M_B=62.06 g/mol[/tex]

Hence, molar mass of unknown liquid is 62.06g/mol.

Answer:

Molar mass of the unknown liquid = 62.07g/mol

Explanation:

Formula is given as

Molality of solution = freezing point of water ÷ Kf

Where

Freezing point of water = -3.33 °C

Kf = in the question, water is the solvent = 1.86 °C/m

Molality of the Solution = 3.33 °C ÷ 1.86 °C/m

= 1.79mol/kg

Next step is to find the number of moles of the solute

Number of moles of solute = Molality of solution × kg of water

Water = 90g

1000g = 1kg

90g of water = 90÷1000

= 0.09kg of water

Number of moles of solute = 1.79mol/kg × 0.09kg of water

= 0.1611mole of solute

Molar mass of the unknown liquid =

Mass of the unknown liquid ÷ Number of moles of solute

Mass of the unknown liquid = 10g

Number of moles of solute = 0.1611mole

Molar mass of the unknown liquid = 10g ÷ 0.1611mole

= 62.07g/mole
