Colligative Properties: Freezing Point Depression Experiment

Procedure:

1. set up apparatus

2. add the stir bar to one beaker, then measure the mass of the 2

3. tare the balance, then use graduated cylinder to add 50 mL of water. record the mass.

4. add approximately the amount of sucrose (Trial 1(17.138g)), Fe(NO3)(Trial 2 (20.097g)), NaCl(Trial 3(2.932g)) and CaCl2(Trial 4(7.349g) required to make 100 mL of 0.50m solution.

5.place second beaker on balance. tare the balance, then add about 50 g of ice. record mass

6. once substance dissolves, carefully transfer the ice into the beaker containing solution. immediately lower thermometer into solution.

7.record temp

Questions:

1. calculate the molality of each solution. you will need the masses of solute, water and ice. (remember to adjust the mass of water if the solutes are hydrates)

2. Use the chemical equations for the dissolution of each solute to determine the theoretical value of i for each solute.

5. using the experimental freezing point depression calculate the experimental i for each solute

Explanation / Answer

1. Molality of a solution = mass of substance (g)/molar mass of substance (g/mol) x kg of solvent

For sucrose = 17.14/342.2965 x 0.04814 = 1.04 m

For Fe(NO3)3.9H2O = 20.10/403.999 x 0.04939 = 1.01 m

For NaCl = 2.932/58.44 x 0.04926 = 1.02 m

For CaCl2 = 7.349/110.98 x 0.05001 = 1.32 m

2. Theoretical value of i for,

sucrose = 1

Fe(NO3)3.9H2O = 4

NaCl = 2

CaCl2 = 3

3. Theroretical dTf,

For sucrose dTf = -1 x 1.86 x 1.04 = -1.93 oC

For Fe(NO3)3.9H2O dTf = -4 x 1.86 x 1.01 = -7.51 oC

For NaCl dTf = -2 x 1.86 x 1.02 = -3.80 oC

For CaCl2 = -3 x 1.86 x 1.32 = -16.74 oC

4. Experimental i for solutions,

Sucrose = -1/-1.86 x 1.04 = 0.51

Fe(NO3)3.9H2O = -3/-1.86 x 1.01 = 1.60

NaCl = -2/-1.86 x 1.02 = 1.05

CaCl2 = -2.5/-1.86 x 1.32 = 1.02
