When 2.36 g of a nonvolatile solute is dissolved in 100 g of solvent,the largest change in freezing point will be achieved when the solvent is A)paradichlorobenzene,K_f = 7.10. B)tert-butanol,K_f = 9.1. C)water,K_f = 1.86. D)All are expected to have the same freezing point.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The largest change in freezing point is achieved with the solvent that has the highest molal freezing point depression constant (Kf). In this case, tert-butanol has the highest Kf value of 9.1, indicating it will produce the largest change in freezing point when a nonvolatile solute is dissolved in it.
