Molal freezing point depression constant...

Molal freezing point depression constant `(K_(f))` may be calculated from the following thermodynamically derived equation

A

`K_(f)=(RT_(f)^(2) DeltaH_(fus))/1000`

B

`K_(f)=(RT_(f))/(1000 DeltaH_(fus))`

C

`K_(f)=(RT_(f)^(2))/(1000 L_(fus))`

D

`K_(f)=T_(b)^(2)/(1000 L_(vap))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3

Here `R` is universal gas constant, `T_(f)` is the normal freezing point of pure solvent and `L_(fus)` is the latent heat of fusion per gram of solvent `(DeltaH_(fus)//Molar mass)`.
