Q.
An antifreeze solution is prepared from 222.6g of ethylene glycol, C2H4(OH)2 and 200g of water. If the density of the solution is 1.072gmL−1, the molality of the solution will be
Mass of the solute, C2H4(OH)2=222.6g
Molar mass of solute C2H4(OH)2=62g mol −1 ∴ Moles of the solute =62gmol−1222.6g=3.59
Mass of the solvent =200g=0.200kg
Volume of solution =1.072gmL−1422.6 =394.2mL=0.3942L
Molality =Mass of solvent in kgNumber of moles of solute =0.23.59=17.95m
