Eicosene is a molecular compound and nonelectrolyte with the empirical formula CH2. The freezing point of a solution prepared by dissolving 100mg of eicosene in 1.00g Benzene was 1.75 degrees C lower than the freezing point of pure benzene. What is the molar mass of eicosene if Kf for benzene is 4.90 Degrees C/m?
We know that ΔT f = iKf x m
Where
ΔT f = depression in freezing point
= freezing point of pure solvent – freezing point of solution
= 1.75 oC
K f = depression in freezing constant = 4.90 oC/m
i = vanthoff’s factor = 1 (it is nonelectrolyte)
m = molality of the solution
= ( mass / Molar mass ) / weight of the solvent in Kg
= ( 100x10-3 g / M) / (1.0x10-3g)
= 100 / M
Plug the values we get
1.75 = 1x4.90x(100/M)
M = 280 g/mol
Therefore the molar mass of eicosene is 280 g/mol
Given empirical formula is CH2
Emperical formula mass = 12+(2x1) = 14
So n = molar mass / emperical mass
= 280 / 14
= 20
Therefore the molecular formula of the nonelectrolyte is 20(CH2) = C20H40
