If you could only record a single temperature reading in a freezing point determination experiment. which temperature should you record? This is the point that you should observe most carefully when carrying out the experiment) 5 Briefly explain why it is important for the beaker of water to cool slowly and for you to stir the naphthalene liquid as it cools.

Explanation / Answer

Post lab

1. To cool the liquid slowly, the apparatus need to be cooled much more slowly so it should be more evenly cooled from all sides. Increasing the size of container would help in this.

2. Using equations

dTf = iKfm

8.4 = 1 x 37.7 x mass of naphthalene/128.17 x 0.012

mass of naphthalene to be added = 0.342 g

3. dTf = iKfm

71 - 21.1 = 1 x 1.44 x Kf/176.2 x 0.01287

Kf = 78.58 oC/m

4. dTf = iKfm

71 - 39.9 = 1 x 8.12 x 1.64/molar mass of unknown x 0.01822

So,

molae mass of unknown = 23.50 g/mol
