Calculating Molar Mass from Freezing Point Depression

webpage-www.kentchemistry.com/links/Ma...
This short video shows you how to calculate the molar mass of a nonelectrolyte (van't hoff=1) using freezing point depression.
Example Question:
The freezing point of a solution that contains 1.00 g of an unknown compound, dissolved in 10.0 g of benzene is found to be 2.07oC. The freezing point of pure benzene is 5.48 oC. The molal freezing point depression constant of benzene is 5.12 oC /molal. What is the molecular weight of the unknown compound?

    From all the videos I've watched online that concerns with finding an unknown substance based on the new freezing point of a solution after a mix, this one has helped me the most at finally understanding the idea behind how all the calculations relate. Thank you!

    no joke, i've been trying to finish this lab for 2 hours and couldn't solve this question. I have to leave for class in 20 minutes but im still taking the time to type out that this video was awesome. It wasn't the same question, in fact it was almost the reverse of it. But this still helped more than any other youtube channel or chem help website. Thanks for the help!

    shouldn't the freezing point of solution be subtracted from freezing point of pure benzene and not the other way around?

    Why did the depression constant for benzene change to negative?

    +Willam Bailey it's always been negative since depression means that it goes down

    help🙏🙏. About this solution..... Calculate the molar mass of sucrose in a solution prepared by dissolving 4.27 grams glucose in 50.0 grams water. The solution boils at 100.3°C which is above the normal boiling point of pure water. Kb=0.512°C/m

    The water or different solvent must me in kg so you can solve for your moles in the molality. Please like and subscribe. Look for the yellow paper for your chemistry videos explanations.

    Thank you so much for this. It really helped me out a ton. And am I the only one who laughed when the molality was .666? I'm sure of it now. my chemistry teacher is satan, since it took this example to teach me how to do it.

    Is it right that freezing point depression = freezing point of solution (minus) freezing point of pure solvent? Because some of the example that I saw, they uses freezing point of pure solvent (minus) frezzing point of solution to find the freezing point depression.

    yes, it is the difference.
