Question

Depression of freezing point of 0.01 molal aq. CH3COOH solution is 0.02046o. 1 molal urea solution freezes at - 1.86°C. Assuming molality equal to molarity, pH of CH3COOH solution is :

Options

A.2
B.3
C.3.2
D.4.2

Solution

For urea,    ᐃTf  = kf × m    or     kf = = 1.86
Now for CH3COOH
DTf  = i kf m
so     i == 1.1
Now    i = 1 + α
so    α = 1.1 - 1 = 0.1
Now  CH3COOH  ⇋  CH3COO-   +   H+
                     C                      0                0
                C – Cα               Cα            Cα
[H+] = Cα = 0.01 × 0.1 = 0.001
so    pH = 3.
