. Explain why, in the sample calculations, 0.1 g of the unknown produced a GREATER freezing point depression than~e same mass of naphthalene.

Answer

Naphthalene is a non electrolyte

If the unknown compound is an electrolyte it gives 2 or more ions in solution

( NaCl >> Na+ + Cl- => 2 ions

Ca(NO3)2 >> Ca2+ + 2 NO3- => 3 ions)

the f.p. lowering is directly proportional to the molal concentration of dissolved ions in the solution )

For naphthalene

delta T = 1.86 x m

for a salt that gives 2 ions

delta T = 1.86 x m x 2

hence the lowering in freezion point of unkown is greater then napthalene

no but i do not usually comment or use my voice that much when it comes to social media

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
