A solution containing 3.90 g of an unknown nonelectrolyte liquid and 9.60 g water has a freezing point of −3.33 °C. The Kf = 1.86 °C/m for water. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown liquid in g/mol.

The molar mass is 227 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of unknown nonelectrolyte = 3.90 grams

Mass of water = 9.60 grams

Freezing point of the solution = -3.33 °C

Kf = 1.86°C/m

Nonelectrolyte has a van't Hoff factor = 1

Step 2:

If you know the number of moles, and you know that is equivalent to 1.00 g, you can get molar mass.

∆T =i*m*K f

⇒ ∆T  = difference in temperature between freezing point of solution and pure water = 3.33 °C

⇒ Van't hoff factor of the nonelectrolyte = 1

⇒ molality = moles nonelectrolyte / mass water

⇒ Kf = freezing point constant = 1.86 °C/m

3.33 = (1)(m)(1.86)

m = 1.79 molal = 1.79 moles / kg H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles nonelectrolyte

molality = moles / mass H2O

moles = molality * mass H2O

Moles = 1.79 molal * 0.0096

Moles = 0.017184‬ moles

Step 4: Calculate molar mass of nonelectrolyte

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 3.90 grams / 0.017184 moles

Molar mass = 227 g/mol

The molar mass is 227 g/mol

chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules. it can only be seen when it is released in a chemical reaction. when chemical energy is released, the substance from which the energy came is often changed into an entirely different substance.

this chemical reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat. chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the arrangement of atoms within molecules. breaking chemical bonds requires energy, while forming new chemical bonds releases energy.

the atp molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. in this form,energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.
