Answer:

the freezing point of the 1.17 m CaCl₂ solution is -2.18 °C and the boiling point is 100.599 °C.

Explanation: The freezing and boiling points of an aqueous solution can be calculated using the following equations:

ΔTf = Kf * m

ΔTb = Kb * m

where:

ΔTf is the change in freezing point

ΔTb is the change in boiling point

Kf is the freezing point depression constant

Kb is the boiling point elevation constant

m is the molality of the solution

For water, Kf = 1.86 °C/m and Kb = 0.512 °C/m.

For a 1.17 m CaCl₂ solution:

ΔTf = Kf * m

ΔTf = 1.86 °C/m * 1.17 m

ΔTf = 2.18 °C

The freezing point depression is 2.18 °C. The freezing point of pure water is 0 °C, so the freezing point of the CaCl₂ solution is:

Freezing point = 0 °C - 2.18 °C

Freezing point = -2.18 °C

ΔTb = Kb * m

ΔTb = 0.512 °C/m * 1.17 m

ΔTb = 0.599 °C

The boiling point elevation is 0.599 °C. The boiling point of pure water is 100 °C, so the boiling point of the CaCl₂ solution is:

Boiling point = 100 °C + 0.599 °C

Boiling point = 100.599 °C
