QJEEM21Ch7b24: JEE Main 2021 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM21Ch7b24 Solution: 1 kg of 0.75 molal aqueous solution of sucrose can be cooled up …

1 kg of 0.75 molal aqueous solution of sucrose can be cooled up to −- 4 ∘^\circ C before freezing. The amount of ice (in g) that will be separated out is __________. (Nearest integer)

[Given : Kf(H2O) = 1.86 K kg mol −- 1]

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Let mass of water initially present = x gm

⇒\Rightarrow Mass of sucrose = (1000 −- x) gm

⇒\Rightarrow moles of sucrose = (1000−x342)\left( {{{1000 - x} \over {342}}} \right)

⇒0.75=(1000−x342)(x1000)⇒x1000=1000−x342×0.75\Rightarrow 0.75 = {{\left( {{{1000 - x} \over {342}}} \right)} \over {\left( {{x \over {1000}}} \right)}} \Rightarrow {x \over {1000}} = {{1000 - x} \over {342 \times 0.75}}

⇒\Rightarrow 256.5x = 106 −- 1000x

⇒\Rightarrow x = 795.86 gm

⇒\Rightarrow moles of sucrose = 0.5969

New mass of H2O = a kg

⇒4=0.5969a×1.86⇒\Rightarrow 4 = {{0.5969} \over a} \times 1.86 \Rightarrow a = 0.2775 kg

⇒\Rightarrow ice separated = (795.86 −- 277.5) = 518.3 gm
