                      0.5 molal aqueous solution of a weak acid (HX) is 20% ionized. If  for water is \[1.86\,\,K\,\,kg\,mo{{l}^{-1}},\] the lowering in freezing point of the solution is:                                                                                                    

    A)                 -1.12 K

    B)                 0.56 K   

    C)                 1.12 K                   

    D)                 -0.56K

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  weak\,acid \\  1  \\  1-\alpha  \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{HX}}\,\rightleftharpoons \,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  0 \\  \alpha  \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}^{+}}}}\,+{{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  0 \\  \alpha \,\, \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{X}^{-}}}}\,}_{(at\ equilibrium)}}\]                 \[\alpha =20%\,dissociation\]                 i.e.,        \[\alpha \] = 0.2                 \[i=1-\alpha +\alpha +\alpha \]                 \[=1+\alpha =1+0.2=1.2\]                 \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=i\times {{K}_{f}}\times m\]                 \[=1.2\times 1.86\,K\,kg\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\,\times 0.5\]                 = 1.12 K
