Properties such as boiling point, freezing point and vapour, pressure of a pure solvent change Propeties such as boiling point, freezing point and vapour, pressure of a pure solvent change when solute molecules are added to get homogeneous solution. These are called colligative properties. Applications of colligative properties are very useful in day-to-day life. One of its examples is the use of ethylene glycol and water mixture as anti-freezing liquid in the radiator of automobiles.
A solution M is prepared by mixing athanol and water. The mole fraction of ethanol in the mixture is 0.9
Given Freezing point depression constant of water `(K_(f)^("water"))=1.86 K kg "mol"^(-1)`
Freezing point depression constant of ethanol `(K_(f)^("ethanol"))=2.0 K kg "mol"^(-1)`
Boiling point elevation constant of water `(K_(b)^("water"))=0.52 kg "mol"^(-1)`
Boiling point elevation constant of ethanol `(K_(b)^("ethanol"))=1.2 kg "mol"^(-1)`
Standard freezing point of water =273 K
Standard freezing point of ethanol = 155.7 K
Standard boiling point of water =373 K
tandard boiling point of ethanol =351.5 K
Vapour pressure of pure water =32.8 mmHg
