Question

Ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) is used as an antifreeze in cars. If 250 g of ethylene glycol is added to 3.00 kg of water, what is the molality? Calculate how much the freezing point of water will be lowered. The freezing-point depression constant for water is Kf = –1.86°C/m. Show your work.

Answer 1

2,909 M

Step-by-step explanation:

molair mass is of.ethylene is 26,04 g/mol

first you need to calculate how much mL 3 kg is. You can do this by using the density of ethylene: 1,1 g/mL.

3000 g x 1.1 = 3300 mL = 3,3 L

Next you need to calculate the amount of moles:

250 g / 26,04 g/mol = 9,60 mol

Now you can calculate the molarity:

9,6/3.3 = 2,909 M

I don't know the answer for the second question. I'm sorry.
