Given- w1 = 500g
W2 = 19.5g
Kf = 1.86 K kg mol-1
Molar mass of CH2FCOOH = 12 + 2 + 19 + 12 + 16 + 16 + 1
= 78 g mol-1
The depression in freezing point is calculated by,

→ (where, m is the molality)
= 1.86 X 19.5 / 78 X 1000/500
= 1.86 X 19.5 / 78 X 2
=0.93
∴ Δtf (calculated) = 0.93
To find out the vant Hoff's factor, we use the formula,
i = observed Δtf / calculated Δtf
i = 1.0 (given) / 0.93
∴ i= 1.07
CH2FCOOH → CH2FCOO- + H +
To find out the degree of dissociation α, we use

Thus, the vant Hoff's factor is 1.07 an the dissociation constant is 2.634x10-3

Mass of CH3CH2CHClCOOH = 10 g
Mass of water = 250g
Ka = 1.4 * 10–3,
Kf = 1.86 K kg mol–1
Molar mass of CH3CH2CHClCOOH = 12 + 3 + 12 + 2 + 12 + 1 + 35.5 + 2 + 16 + 16 + 1
= 122.5 g mol–1
Number of moles of solute = Mass of Solute / Molar Mass
→ No. of moles = 10g / 122.5 g/mol
∴ No. of moles = 8.6 X 10–2 mol
Now, Molality is given as,
M = Number of moles of solute / kg of solvent
M= 8.6 X 10–2 X 1000 g/mol / 250 g
M = 0.3264 kg/mol
CH3CH2CHClCOOH = CH3CH2CHClCOO- + H +
Initial moles | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Total moles at equilibrium = (1-α) + 2 α

In order to find out the depression in freezing point,

The depression in freezing point of water observed for the same amount of acetic acid, trichloroacetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid increases in the pattern,
Acetic acid< trichloroacetic acid< trifluoroacetic acid.
This is because fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine. So, trifluoracetic acid is a stronger acid in comparison to trichloroacetic acid and acetic acid. And also, acetic acid is the weakest of all.
Explanation: Stronger acid produces more number of ions, therefore it has more? Tf (depression in freezing point), hence lower freezing point. As the acidic strength increases, the acid gets more and more ionised.
Trifluoracetic acid ionizes to the largest extent. Hen

Volume of the solution = 250mL = 0.25L
Let the no. of moles of solute be n
Molarity = No. of moles of solute/volume of solution
⇒ 0.15 = n/0.25
⇒ n = 0.0375moles
Molar mass of C6H5OH = 6*12 + 5*1 + 16 + 1 = 94g
Moles = mass/molar mass
⇒ 0.0375 = m/94
Mass of benzoic acid required = 3.525g.

Molar mass of Nalorphene = 311g/mol
Now 1000g of solution contains 1.5 * 10-3 moles of Nalorphene (Molality of solution = moles of solute/mass of solvent (in kg)
⇒ 1.5 * 10-3 moles of Nalorphene = 1.5 * 10-3 * 311 = 0.4665g of Nalorphene
Therefore, total mass of the solution = (1000 + 0.4665) g
⇒ total mass = 1000.4665 g
This implies that the mass of the solution containing 0.4665 g of nalorphene is 1000.4665 g.
Therefore, mass of the solution containing 1.5 mg of nalorphene is:
Mass = 1000.4665 X 1.5 X 10-3 / 4.665 g
⇒ mass of solution containing required ions = 3.22 g
Hence, the mass of aqueous solution required is 3.22 g.

Total mass of solution = 6.5g + 450g = 456.5g
Therefore mass percentage of aspirin in solution = (mass of aspirine/total mass of solution) = 6.5/456.5
⇒ mass % of aspirine = 1.424%

The Solubility product of CuS (ksp) = 6 * 10-16
CuS → Cu ++ + S2-
Let the s be solubility of CuS in mol/L
Ksp = [ Cu ++ ] [S2]
Ksp = solubility product
6 * 10-16 = s * s = s2
⇒ S = 2.45 * 10-8 mol/L
Hence, the maximum molarity of CuS in an aqueous solution is 2.45 * 10-8 mol/L

Mass of ions = 92g
Molar mass of ions = Na+ = 23g (neglect the mass lost due to absence of a electron)
Moles of ions = mass of ions/molar mass
⇒ n = 92/23 moles
⇒ n = 4moles
Molality of solution = moles of solute/mass of solvent (in kg) Molality = 4/1 = 4M

- Water is a polar compound (due to electronegativity difference between O and H) . We know that “like dissolves like”. So, a non-polar compound will be more soluble in non-polar solvent as compared to polar compound.
- Phenol has the polar group -OH and non-polar group –C6H5 and it can not form H bonding with water (presence of bulky non-polar group) . Thus, phenol is partially soluble in water
- Toluene has no polar Thus, toluene is insoluble in water.
- Formic acid (HCOOH) has the polar group -OH and can form H-bond with water. Thus, formic acid is highly soluble in water
- Ethylene glycol (OH-CH2-CH2-OH) has polar -OH group and can form H-

Now n-octane is non-polar solvent due to long chain saturated structure. We know that “like dissolves like” so a non-polar compound will be more soluble in non-polar solvent as compared to polar compound.
So cyclohexane is non-polar due to symmetric structure. KCl is ionic in nature as it will dissociate into K + and Cl- ions. CH3CN is polar as mentioned above and CH3OH is also polar in nature.
The order of increasing polarity is:
Cyclohexane < CH3CN < CH3OH < KCl (O is more electronegative than N)
Therefore, the order of increasing solubility is:
KCl < CH3OH < CH3CN < Cyclohexane
