QJEEM19Ch537d: JEE Main 2019 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM19Ch537d Solution: The freezing point of a diluted milk sample is found to be –0.2 …
The freezing point of a diluted milk sample is found to be –0.2oC, while it should have been –0.5oC for pure milk. How much water has been added to pure milk to make the diluted sample?
Multiple Choice Options
- A 1 cup of water to 2 cups of pure milk
- B 2 cups of water to 3 cups of pure milk
- C 3 cups of water to 2 cups of pure milk
- D 1 cup of water to 3 cups of pure milk
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
We know,
Tf = i kf m
TfDil. Milk = (1) kf mdil = 0.2 ...(1)
TfPure Milk = (1) kf mpure = 0.5 ...(2)
From (1) and (2), we get
= ....(3)
Assume moles of fat in both the milk samples = n
Weight of milk = w1
and weight of water = w0
Molality of pure milk,
mpure = ....(4)
Molality of diluted milk,
mdil. = ....(5)
From (4) and (5), we get
Using equation (3), we get
5w1 = 2w1 + 2w0
3w1 = 2w0
Which means 3 cups of water has been added to 2 cups of pure milk.
