About how much sodium chloride will be used in a single trial of this experiment?

• 1-2 g
• 2-5 g
• 5-8 g
• 8-11 g

2-5 g

A salt water solution is found to have a mass of 117.25 grams. If 5.40 grams of sodium chloride was originally added, how many grams of water are in the solution?

117.25 g salt water solution - 5.40 g sodium chloride = 111.85 g water

A solution of contains 118.7 g of water and 7.778 grams of sodium chloride. What is its molality in mol/kg? HINT: Molality = moles of solute/kg of solvent.

7.778 g NaCl x ( 1 mol NaCl / 58.44 g NaCl ) = 0.1331 mol NaCl

118.7 g H₂O x ( 1 kg / 1000 g) = 0.1187 kg H₂O

molality (m) = mol of solute / kg of solvent

m = 0.1331 mol NaCl / 0.1187 kg H₂O = 1.1213 mol/kg

A (non-aqueous) solution is found to have a molality of 1.86 molal and experiences a freezing point depression of 7.90 degrees C. What is the Kf of the solvent (in degrees C/m)? HINT: Non-aqueous solutions do not tend to split into ions.

Kf = degrees C / m

Kf = 7.90 degrees C / 1.86 m

Kf = 4.25 degrees C/m
