    KBr is 80% dissociated in aqueous solution of 0.5m concentration. (Given,\[{{k}_{f}}\]for water = 1.86 K kg \[\text{mo}{{\text{l}}^{-1}}\]). The solution freezes at

    A)  271.326 K           

    B)  272 K

    C)  270.5 K                                

    D)  268.5 K

    E)  269 K

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=i\times {{k}_{f}}\times \]molality \[KBr\]is dissociated as: \[KBr\rightleftharpoons {{K}^{+}}+B{{r}^{-}}\] Here, degree of dissociation = 80% \[\because \]     \[i=\frac{1-\alpha +n\alpha }{1}\]where n = number of ions produced by the complete dissociation \[i=\frac{1-0.8+2\times 0.8}{1}=1.8\] \[\therefore \]  \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=1.8\times 1.86\times 0.5\]                 \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=1.674\,K\]                 \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=T{{{}^\circ }_{f}}-{{T}_{f}}\]                 \[1.674=273-{{T}_{f}}\]                 \[{{T}_{f}}=273-1.674\]                 \[{{T}_{f}}=271.326\,K\]
