- #11Calculate
the mass of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C, C6H8O6)
to be dissolved in
75 g of acetic acid to lower its melting point
by 1.5°C. Kf = 3.9 K kg mol-1.Ans : Mass
of acetic acid, w1 = 75 g
Molar
mass of ascorbic acid (C6H8O6), M2 = 6 × 12 + 8 × 1 + 6 × 16
=
176 g mol-1
Lowering
of melting point, ΔTf = 1.5 K
We
know that:


= 5.08 g
(approx)
Hence,
5.08 g of ascorbic acid is needed to be dissolved.
Note: There is a slight variation in this answer and the one given in the
NCERT textbook.
