1.$\displaystyle 00$ molal aqueous solution of trichloroacetic acid is heated to its boiling point. Boiling point of this solution was found to be $\displaystyle 100 \cdot 18^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Calculate the van't Hoff factor for trichloroacetic acid. (Given : $\displaystyle \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}}$ for water $\displaystyle =0.512 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$)
State Henry's law. Calculate the mole fraction of $\displaystyle \mathrm{CO}_{2}$ in water at $\displaystyle 298$ K under $\displaystyle 760$ mm Hg. (Given : $\displaystyle \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}}$ for $\displaystyle \mathrm{CO}_{2}$ in $\displaystyle \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ at $\displaystyle 298 \mathrm{~K}=1 \cdot 25 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$ )
Marking-scheme solution
(a)
∆Tb = Kb × m
∆Tb = $\displaystyle 1$ × $\displaystyle 0.512$
= $\displaystyle 0.512$
Van’t Hoff factor (i) = Observed colligative property
Calculated colligative property
=
= $\displaystyle 0.3516$
Alternative method
ΔTb = i Kb m
(Tb - Tb°) = i x $\displaystyle 0.512$ x $\displaystyle 1$
0.$\displaystyle 18$ = $\displaystyle 0.512$ x i
i =
i = $\displaystyle 0.3516$
OR
(b)
At a given temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional
to the partial pressure of the gas.
p = KH xCO2
xCO2 =
1.$\displaystyle 25$ 𝑋 $\displaystyle 106$
= $\displaystyle 6.08$ x $\displaystyle 10$−$\displaystyle 4$
