    The cryoscopic constant for acetic acid is 3.6 K kg/mol. A solution of 1 g of a hydrocarbon in 100 g of acetic acid freezes at \[16.14{}^\circ C\]instead of the usual\[16.60{}^\circ C\]. The hydrocarbon contains 92.3% carbon. What is the'molecular formula?

    A) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{6}}\]          

    B) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}\]

    C) \[{{C}_{8}}{{H}_{18}}\]         

    D) \[{{C}_{10}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[{{K}_{b}}=3.6K\,kg/mol.\] \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=16.6-16.14=0.46{}^\circ C\] \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=\frac{100{{k}_{f}}{{w}_{1}}}{{{m}_{1}}{{w}_{2}}}\] \[0.46=\frac{100\times 3.6\times 1}{{{m}_{1}}\times 100}\] \[{{m}_{1}}=\frac{36}{0.46}=78.26g\] \[C=\frac{92.3}{100}\times 78.26=72.23g\] \[H=\frac{7.7\times 78.26}{100}=6.026g\] Whole ratio \[C=\frac{72.23}{1}=6.02\] \[H=\frac{6.026}{1}=6.02\] Therefore, the molecular formula is \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{6.}}\]
