Detailed Solution

ΔT=1000×Kf×WsWo×Ms
9.3=1000×1.86×5062×Wo
Wo=161.29
 Ice separated =200-161.29=38.71 g

Hence, the correct option (D). 38.71 g

Explanation:

Problem Statement:

Determine the amount of ice that will separate out when a solution containing 50 g of ethylene glycol in 200 g of water is cooled to -9.3°C.

Given Data:

  • Mass of ethylene glycol (solute), msolute = 50 g
  • Mass of water (solvent), msolvent = 200 g
  • Freezing point depression constant for water, Kf = 1.86 K·kg·mol-1
  • Final temperature, Tf = -9.3°C

Calculations:

Step 1: Calculate the depression in freezing point, ΔTf

ΔTf = T0f - Tf = 0°C - (-9.3°C) = 9.3°C

Step 2: Convert the mass of water into kilograms

msolvent = 200 g = 0.200 kg

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of ethylene glycol

Molar mass of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2):

  • Carbon (C): 2 atoms × 12.01 g/mol = 24.02 g/mol
  • Hydrogen (H): 6 atoms × 1.01 g/mol = 6.06 g/mol
  • Oxygen (O): 2 atoms × 16.00 g/mol = 32.00 g/mol

Total molar mass: 24.02 + 6.06 + 32.00 = 62.08 g/mol

nsolute = msolute / Molar mass = 50 g / 62.08 g/mol ≈ 0.806 mol

Step 4: Calculate the molality of the solution

m = nsolute / msolvent = 0.806 mol / 0.200 kg = 4.03 mol/kg

Step 5: Use the freezing point depression formula

ΔTf = Kf × m

Rearranging gives:

m = ΔTf / Kf = 9.3°C / 1.86 K·kg·mol-1 ≈ 5.0 mol/kg

Step 6: Calculate the mass of water that can freeze at -9.3°C

Let x be the mass of water that can freeze:

9.3 = 1.86 × (50 / 62) / (x / 1000)

Rearranging gives:

x = (1.86 × (50 / 62) × 1000) / 9.3 ≈ 161.29 g

Step 7: Calculate the amount of ice formed

Ice formed = 200 g - 161.29 g = 38.71 g

Final Answer:

The amount of ice that will separate out is approximately 38.71 g.
