Document Summary

Determination of the molar mass is a valuable quantitative measure used to most accurately identify an unknown compound, as every compound has a unique molar mass. The molar mass of a white, powdery solute, whose identity was hypothesized to be naphthalene (molar mass. 128. 17 g/mol)1, was estimated via freezing point depression. The theory of freezing point depression discusses that adding a solute to a solvent such as cyclohexane will decrease the freezing point of the overall solution. This colligative property is related to the molar mass of a compound as the latter determines the molality of the solution, which effects the temperature at which the solution freezes. The freezing points of the solution and the molar masses for three trials of the experiment allow for the accurate identification of the compound using the average molar mass. The unknown compound was hypothesized to be naphthalene, as both have a white, flaky texture, and a pungent scent.

As a of the presence of the the pressure of the solution will be lower than that of the pure solvent. As the vapor pressure is lowered there is a resulting increase in the amount of energy required to reach the boiling point of the solution. Conversely, the solution must cool to a lower temperature before a state change from liquid to solid occurs. These changes in physical properties vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation and freezing point depression are collectively referred to as colligative properties. These colligative properties, which also include osmotic pressure, do not depend on the nature of the nonvolatile solute in the solution but rather on the concentration of solute present. Because the properties are independent of the nature of the solute, they may be used to determine other properties of the solute such as molecular weight. The effect of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte solute on a pure solvent will be examined by finding the freezing point depression of a cyclohexane unknown so solution. The freezing point of a pure sample of cyclohexane will be determined. Introducing a nonelectrolyte solute should in solution formed to freeze at a lower temperature. This temperature will then be experimentally determined As stated the The molality of the solution dependent on the quantity of solute particles present in solution. (moles solute particles per kilogram of solvent) is directly proportional to the change in temperature between the freezing point of the pure solvent and that of the ATfss Kim The molal freezing point depression constant, K for cyclohexane is equal to 20.00 cfmolal By experimentally determining the freezing point depression of a ohexanel unknown solution, the molal concentration is easily calculated. In turn the molar mass of the unknown olute can be calculated as well Chemistry 132 EXPERIMENT23

The extent to which these are aftected depends on the relative number of solute particlos in the solution. Properties of solutions that depend only on the number of solute molecules in a given quantity of solvent are called colligative properties. Such cyclohexane turns into solid. Once the substance again. The freezing point is the temperature where it stays constant, Le. the liquld phase and the sold phase of the cyclohexane coexists (Figure 3-1) boiling point elevation and osmotic pressure. They do NOT dopend on the nature of the solute, but DO depend on the nature of the solvent. As a consequence, colligative properties can be used to determine an unknown molar mass for a solute. In this experiment, we will be using cyclohexane (d " 0.779 gmL, K, . 20.5 oC/m) as the solvent to determine the molar mass of a white solid with an empirical formula of C,HC. The freezing point depression, Î7, is the difference between the freezing point of the pure solvent, TP, and the freezing point of the solution (solvent and solute). T As mentioned above, thits quantity is proportional only to the molal concentration of the solute, m Figure 3-1. Cooling Curves The proportionality constant, K, is called the freezing-point-depression constant. The K value of 20.5 C/m for Cyclohexane is one of the largest values one can find. Molal concentration is defined as the number of moles of substance in 1 kg of solvent. Now we can calculate the molar mass of a solute from ATã K,, the mass of the The freezing point of a solution in cyclohexane can be obtained in a similar way. Cooling results in an initial rapid decrease in the temperature until freezing begins as seen in the cooling curve of the pure solvent. However, the temperature of the solution does not remain constant while being frozen. As the cyclohexane in the solution treezes, cyclohexane is taken away from the solution and the concentration of the solute becomes higher In the liquid portion. Thus the molal concentration of the solute increases and the freezing point of the solute and the mass of the solvent. remaining liquid becomes lower. The result is a steadily decreasing freezing temperature until the solution is completely frozen. When all the solution In order to determine ATP, we will measure the freezing point of pure cyclohexane and the freezing point of a solution of the solute in is frozen, the temperature decreases more rapidly To evaluate the freezing point of pure cyclohexame, you will cool a sample of this substance, and measure the temperature as a The freezing point of the solution is the temperature at which the solution starts to freeze. portion represents the concentration of the starting function of time. As cooling begins, theOnly at this point, the concentration of the liquid temperature of the cyclohexane decreases rapidly.
