Q & A

What are colligative properties?

Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the number of solute particles in a given amount of solvent, rather than the identity of the solute. Examples include vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure.

How does the addition of salt affect the freezing point of water?

The addition of salt lowers the freezing point of water, meaning that a saltwater solution will freeze at a lower temperature than pure water. This is due to the interference of solute particles with the formation of solid ice.

What is the significance of the term 'freezing point'?

The freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid. It is defined as the temperature at which the liquid and solid phases coexist in equilibrium under a specific pressure, typically 760 mm Hg.

What happens when a non-electrolyte solute, like sugar, is added to water?

When a non-electrolyte solute such as sugar is added to water, it lowers the freezing point of the solution compared to pure water. The more solute added, the lower the freezing point becomes.

How can the freezing point depression be mathematically calculated?

Freezing point depression can be calculated using the formula: ΔTf = Kf * m, where ΔTf is the depression in freezing point, Kf is the cryoscopic constant, and m is the molality of the solution.

What is the role of ethylene glycol in automotive radiators?

Ethylene glycol is added to automotive radiators to lower the freezing point of the coolant. This prevents the coolant from freezing at low temperatures, ensuring the engine operates efficiently.

What is the effect of strong electrolytes on the freezing point of solutions?

Strong electrolytes, which dissociate completely in solution, produce more solute particles compared to non-electrolytes or weak electrolytes. This leads to a greater freezing point depression.

How is the Van 't Hoff factor related to freezing point depression?

The Van 't Hoff factor (i) indicates the number of particles a solute produces in solution. For electrolytes, this factor is essential in calculating freezing point depression because it accounts for the degree of ionization.

What happens to the freezing point of a solution as the concentration of solute increases?

As the concentration of solute increases, the freezing point of the solution decreases further. This means a higher concentration of solute requires a lower temperature to freeze.

How do you determine the degree of ionization of a weak electrolyte from freezing point data?

To determine the degree of ionization of a weak electrolyte, you can calculate the Van 't Hoff factor from freezing point depression data and use the formula: i = 1 + α(n - 1), where α is the degree of ionization and n is the number of ions produced.
