    0.5 molal aqueous solution of a weak acid (HX) is 20% ionised. If \[{{K}_{f}}\] for water is \[1.86\text{ }K\text{ }kg\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}},\] the lowering in freezing point of the solution is:                  [AIPMT (S) 2007]

    A) \[-1.12\text{ }K\]

    B) \[0.56\text{ }K\]

    C) \[1.12\text{ }K\]

    D) \[-0.56\,K\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  weak\,acid \\  1  \\  1-\alpha  \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{HX}}\,\rightleftharpoons \,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  0 \\  \alpha  \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}^{+}}}}\,+{{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  0 \\  \alpha \,\, \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{X}^{-}}}}\,}_{(at\ equilibrium)}}\]
                            \[\alpha =20%\,dissociation\]
                i.e.,       \[\alpha \] = 0.2
                \[i=1-\alpha +\alpha +\alpha \]
                \[=1+\alpha =1+0.2=1.2\]
                \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=i\times {{K}_{f}}\times m\]
                \[=1.2\times 1.86\,K\,kg\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\,\times 0.5\]
                = 1.12 K
