A 1.0108 g sample of an unknown nonelectrolyte is dissolved in 10.0090 g of benzophenone and produces a solution that freezes at 35.8 C. If the pure benzophenone melted at 48.1 C, what is the molecular weight of the unknown compound?

Respuesta :

Answer:

100.98 g/mol

Explanation:

Solution:

1) Determine temperature change:

   48.1 - 35.8 = 12.3 °C

2) Determine how many moles of the compound dissolved:

   Δt = i Kf m

   1.674 °C = (1) (9.8 °C kg mol¯1) (x / 0.010009 kg)

   9.8 °C = (979.12 °C mol¯1) (x)

   x = 0.010009 mol

3) Determine molecular weight:

   1.0108 g / 0.010009 mol = 100.98 g/mol

The molecular weight of the unknown compound is 100.98 g/mol.

Change in temperature:

It is the difference between initial and final temperatures.

[tex]\triangle t = 48.1 - 35.8 = 12.3^oC[/tex]

  • Calculation for moles of the compound dissolved:

[tex]\triangle t = i* K_f *m\\\\1.674^oC = (1) (9.8^oC kg mol^{-1}) \frac{x}{0.010009 kg}\\\\ 9.8^oC = (979.12^oC mol^{-1}) (x)\\\\x = 0.010009 mol[/tex]

  • Calculation of  molecular weight:

It is given by mass over number of moles.

[tex]\frac{ 1.0108 g }{0.010009 mol} = 100.98 g/mol[/tex]

Thus, the molecular weight of the unknown compound is 100.98 g/mol.
