What is the freezing point of a solution of 0.5 mol of LiBr in 500 mL of water? (Kf = 1.86°C/m) –1.86°C –7.44°C –5.58°C –3.72°C

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • Last choice: - 3.72°C

Explanation:

The freezing point depression in a solvent is a colligative property: it depends on the number of solute particles.

The equation to predict the freezing point depression in a solvent is:

  • ΔTf = Kf × m × i

Where,

  • ΔTf is the freezing point depression of the solvent,
  • m is the molality,
  • Kf is the cryoscopic molal constant of the solvent, and i is the Van'f Hoff factor, which is the number of ions produced by each unit formula of the ionic compound.
