(b) the ratio of the vapor pressure above the solution to that of the pure solvent,

(c) the osmotic pressure,

(d) and the molecular weight of the solute. Pbenzene = 103 Torr at 298 K.

a) The freezing point depression = 1.16 °C

b) Psolution = 101.2 torr   Psolution/Psolvent = 101.2 / 103 = 0.983

c) osmotic pressure π = 4.85 atm

d) Molecular weight = 41.4 g/mol

Explanation:

Step1 : Data given

Mass of substance = 7.75 grams

Mass of benzene = 825 grams

Boiling point elevation = 0.575 °C

Kf = 5.12 C/m

Kb = 2.53 C/m

Density = 876.6 Kg /m³ = 0.8766 g/mL

Step 2 Calculate the molaltiy

ΔT = i*Kb*m

⇒ΔT = the boiling point elevation = 0.575 °C

⇒i = the van't Hoff factor = 1

⇒Kb = the boiling point constant = 2.53 °C/m

⇒with m = TO BE DETERMINED

0.575 = 2.53 * m

m = 0.227 molal

Step 3: Calculate the freezing point depression

ΔT = i*Kf*m

⇒ΔT = the freezing point depressio, = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒i = the van't Hoff factor = 1

⇒Kb = the freezing point constant = 5.12 °C/m

⇒with m = 0.227 molal

ΔT = 5.12 °C/m * 0.227 m

ΔT = 1.16 °C

Step 4: Calculate the molar mass of the solute

Molality = moles / mass benzene

0.227 molal = moles / 0.825 kg

Moles substance =  0.227 * 0.825

Moles substance = 0.187 moles

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass substance = 7.75 grams / 0.187 moles

Molar mass substance = 41.4 g/mol

Step 5: Calculate  the ratio of the vapor pressure above the solution to that of the pure solvent,

Moles benzene = 825 grams / 78.11 g/mol

Moles benzene = 10.56 moles

Mol fraction benzene = 10.56 moles /(10.56 + 0.187 )

Mol fraction benzene =  0.983

Psolution = 103 * 0.983 = 101.2 atm

Step 5: Calculate moles substance

Moles substance = 7.75 grams / 41.4 g/mol

Moles substance = 0.187 moles

Step7: Calculate volume

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 825 * 10^-3 / 876.6

Volume = 0.942 L

Step 7 Calculate osmotic pressure

π = i*M*R*T = i n/V * R*T

⇒π = the osmotic pressure = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒i = the van't Hoff factor = 1

⇒M = the molar concentration = n/V  

⇒R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒T = the temperature = 298 K

π = 1 * (0.187 moles / 0.942L) * 0.08206 * 298 K

π = 4.85 atm
