    The molal freezing point constant for water is\[{{1.86}^{o}}C/mol\]. If 342 g of sucrose \[({{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}})\]is dissolved in 1000 g of water, the solution will freeze at

    A)  \[+{{1.86}^{o}}C\]                          

    B)   \[-{{1.86}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[{{2.42}^{o}}C\]                            

    D)  \[{{3.92}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Key Idea             We know that                                 \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}={{K}_{f}}\times \] molality Molarity \[=\frac{weight\text{ }of\text{ }solute\text{ }/\text{ }mol.\text{ }wt.\,\,of\text{ }solute}{weight\,of\,solvent\,(in\,kg)}\] and        \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}={{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}}\] Here, \[{{T}_{1}}\] is freezing temperature of solvent. Weight of sucrose = 342 g Molecular weight of sucrose \[({{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}})\]                                                                 = 342g Weight of solvent = 1000 g = 1 kg                 Molality \[=\frac{342/342}{1}\]                 Molality = 1 m \[\because \]     \[{{K}_{f}}={{1.86}^{o}}C/mol\] Hence,  \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=1.86\times 1=1.86\] \[\therefore \]  \[1.86=0-{{T}_{2}}\] \[{{T}_{2}}=-{{1.86}^{o}}C\]                         \[\left( \begin{align}   & \Delta {{T}_{f}}={{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}} \\  & {{T}_{1}}\,of\text{ }water\text{ }is\,{{0}^{o}}C \\ \end{align} \right)\] Therefore, solution will freeze at \[-{{1.86}^{o}}C\].
