    What is the freezing point of a solution containing  \[8.1\,\,g\,\,HBr\] in \[100\,\,g\] water assuming the acid to be \[90%\] ionised? \[({{k}_{f}}\] for water\[=1.86\,\,K\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}})\]

    A) \[{{0.85}^{o}}C\]                             

    B)  \[-{{3.53}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[{{0}^{o}}C\]                                  

    D)  \[-{{0.35}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=i\times {{k}_{f}}\times m\] \[_{Ions\,\,at\,\,equilibrium}^{{}}\]        \[\underset{1-\alpha }{\mathop{HBr}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\alpha }{\mathop{{{H}^{+}}}}\,+\underset{\alpha }{\mathop{B{{r}^{-}}}}\,\] \[\therefore \]  Total ions\[=1-\alpha +\alpha +\alpha \]                                     \[=1+\alpha \] \[\therefore \]                    \[i=1+\alpha \] Given,                 \[{{k}_{f}}=1.86\,\,K\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] mass of            \[HBr=8.1\,\,g\] mass of            \[{{H}_{2}}O=100\,\,g\] \[(\alpha )=\]degree of ionization\[=90%\]                 \[m\](molality)                 \[=\frac{mass\,\,of\,\,solute/mol.\,\,wt.\,\,of\,\,solute}{mass\,\,of\,\,solvent\,\,in\,\,kg}\]                    \[=\frac{8.1/81}{100/1000}\]                 \[i=1+\alpha \]                   \[=1+90/100\]                   \[=1.9\]         \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=i\times {{k}_{f}}\times m\]                   \[=1.9\times 1.86\times \frac{8.1/81}{100/1000}\]                   \[={{3.534}^{o}}C\] \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=\](depression in freezing point) = freezing point of water - freezing point of solution \[3.534=0-\]freezing point of solution. \[\therefore \]Freezing point of solution\[=-{{3.534}^{o}}C\]
