Pure water freezes at273 Kand1 barpressure. The addition of34.5 gof ethanol to500 gof water changes the freezing point of the solution. Use the freezing point depression constant of water as2 K kg mol-1. The figures shown below represent the plots of vapour pressure (V.P.) versus temperature (T). [Molecular weight of ethanol is 46 g46 g mol-1]
Among the following, the option representing a change in the freezing point is

Question diagram: Pure water freezes at 273 K and 1 bar pressure. The addition

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Ethanol should be considered yo be a non-volatile solute as per the given options.

ΔTf=Kf×m,

ΔTf=2×34.546×0.5=3 K,

Tf0=273 K,

Tf=270 K.
