Lauryl alcohol is a nonelectrolyte obtained from coconut oil and is used to make detergents. a solution of 6.80 g of lauryl alcohol in 0.200 kg of benzene freezes at 4.5 ∘c. what is the approximate molar mass of lauryl alcohol?
what is the approximate molar mass of lauryl alcohol?

The approximate molar mass of lauryl alcohol is 174.08 g/m

Explanation:

An excersise to apply the colligative property of Freezing-point depression.

This is the formula: ΔT = Kf . m

First of all, think the T° of fusion of benzene → 5.5°C

ΔT = T° pure solvent - T° fusion solution

Kf for benzene: 5.12 °C/m

5.5°C - 4.5°C = 5.12 °C /m  . m

1°C /  5.12 m /°C = m

0.195 m = molality

This moles of lauryl alcohol, solute, are in 1 kg of benzene, solvent.

I have to find out in 0.2 kg.

1 kg sv 0.195 moles solute

0.2 kg sv (0.195 . 0.2)/1 = 0.039 moles solute

The mass for these moles is 6.80 g, so if I want to know the molar mass, I have to divide mass / moles

6.80 g/ 0.039 moles = 174.08 g/m

relative humidity is a measure of the amount of moisture in the air relative to the total amount of moisture the air can hold.

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
