If the radiator of an automobile contains `12 L` of water, how much would the freezing point be lowered by the addition of `5 kg` of prestone `("glycol" C_(2)H_(4)((OH)_(2))`. How many kg of Zeron (methyl alcohol) would be required to produce the same result?

Verified by Experts

Given,
Weight of glycol`(W_(2))=5 kg =5000 g`
Molecular weight of glycol `(Mw_(2))62 g`
`:.` Weight fo water=12 kg (`:'`density =`V/W`)
Mole of glycol=`W_(2)/(Mw_(2))=5000/62 =80.6`
Molality of solution `(m) ="Mole"/"Weight of solvent" =80.6/12 =6.7`
Now,`DeltaT_(f)=K_(f)m=1.86 xx 6.7 =12 K`
`:.` Freezing point of solution = `-12^(@)C`
With methyl alcohol, to get the same freezing point depression same number of moles are required.
`:.` amount of methyl alcohol = `"Mole"xxM_(W)`
`=80.6 xx 32 =2579.2`
`=2.58 kg`

What should be the freezing point of aqueous solution containing 17g of C_(2)H_(5)OH in 1000g of water ( K_(f) for water = 1.86 deg kg mol^(-1)) ?

K_(f) for water is 1.86 K kg "mol"^(-1) . If your automobile radiator holds 1.0 kg of water, how many grams of ethylene glycol (C_(2)H_(6)O_(6)) must you add to get the freezing point of the solution lowered to - 2.8^(@)C ?

The boiling point elevation and freezing point depression of solutions have a number of partical applications. Ethylene glycol (CH_(2)OH-CH_(2)OH) is used in automobile radiatiors as an antifreeze because it lowers the freezing point of the coolant. The same substance also helps to prevent the radiator coolant from boiling away by elevating the boiling point. Ethylene glycol has low vapour pressure. We can also use glycerol as an antifreeze. In order for the boiling point elevation to occur, the solute must be non-volatile, but no such restriction applies to freezing point depression. For example, methanol (CH_(3)OH) , a fairly volatile liquid that boils only at 65^(@)C , is sometimes used as an antifreeze in automobile radiators. 620 g glycol is added to 4 kg water in the radiator of car. What amount of ice will separate out at -6^(@)C ?

Parveen wated to make a temporary shelter for her car, by making a box - like structurer with tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of the car (with the front face as a flap which can be rolled up). Assuming that the stiching margins are very small, and therefore neglible, how much tarpaulin would be required to make the shelter of height 2.5 m, with base dimensoins 4mxx3m?
