Density of 1 M solution of a non-electrolyte C6H12O6 is 1.18 g/mL. If Kf(H2O) is1.86° mol–1 kg, solution freezes at -
(a) –1.58°C               (b) –1.86°C               (c) –3.16°C              (d) 1.86°C

Dear Student,

Tf=iKfmMolality, m=Molarity×1000density×1000-Molarity×Molar massMolar mass =6×12+12×1+2×6= 72+12+12=96 gmol-1m=1×10001.18×1000-1×96=10001180-96=10001084=0.922 mSInce the solute is non electrolyte, i=1Now, Tf =1×1.86×0.922=1.71and, Tf=Tf°-TfFor water,Tf°=0°CSo, 1.71=0°C-Tfor, Tf= -1.71°C Hence, the correct answer is (b)
