How many grams of ethylene glycol (molar mass 62gmol−1) must be dissolved in 1.00kg of water so that the solution freezes at −10.0∘C? Use Kf=1.86Kkgmol−1, and give the answer to the nearest integer.
Numerical answer type, answer in g, tolerance 1.
Answer: 333 g
ΔTf=10.0K=Kfm, so m=10.0/1.86=5.376molkg−1. For 1.00kg of water this is 5.376 mol, i.e. 5.376×62=333.3≈333g.
