What are the freezing point and boiling point of a solutionprepared by dissolving 18.6g of CaCl2 in 200.0g ofwater? (kf = -1.86�/m and kb= 0.512�/m)?

Let us calculate moles of CaCl2

Molar mass of CaCl2 = 110.98 g/mol

moles of CaCl2 = 18.6 g CaCl2 x( 1 mole CaCl2/ 110.98g CaCl2)

                         = 0.168 moles

Then convert grams of water to kilograms of H2O

200g x ( 1kg / 10^3 g) = 0.200 kg

Calculate molality

molality = moles of solute/ kg of solvent

             = 0.168/0.200

             = 0.84 mol/kg

For boiling point we will use the relation,

dela Tb = i(Kb)(m)
