Calculate the mass of compound (molar mass = 256 g mol-1) to be dissolved in 75 of benzene to lower its freezing point by 0.48 K (Kf= 5.12 kg mol-1 )
Define an ideal solution and write one of its characteristics.
Definition: The solutions that obey Raoult’ s law over the entire range of concentration are called ideal solutions. Examples: n-hexane and n-heptane.
Characteristics: For ideal solutions:
Enthalpy of mixing (mixH) of the pure components to form the solution is zero.
The volume of mixing (mixV) is also equal to zero.
