In a cold climate water gets frozen causing damage to radiator of a car. Ethylene glycol is used as an anifreezing agent. Calculate the amount of ethylene glycol to be added to `4 kg` of water to prevent it from freezing at `-6^(@)` . (`K_(f)` for water = `1.85 kg mol^(-1)`)

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of determining the amount of ethylene glycol to be added to 4 kg of water to prevent it from freezing at -6°C, we will use the concept of freezing point depression. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Mass of water (solvent), \( m_{solvent} = 4 \, \text{kg} \) - Freezing point of pure water, \( T_{0f} = 0°C \) - Desired freezing point of the solution, \( T_f = -6°C \) ...
