Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.58 Colligative Properties skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the KNO3 data table. The observed van't Hoff factor decreases as molality increases. Which conclusion best explains the trend?

AKNO3 stops dissolving in water above 0.20 m.

BThe solvent's Kf changes sign as the solution gets more concentrated.

CThe data should be analyzed with boiling point elevation instead of freezing point depression.

DIon interactions become more significant at higher concentration, reducing the effective number of independent particles.

Solution & Explanation:The ideal model assumes independent ions. As electrolyte concentration increases, ion attractions and ion pairing can lower the observed van't Hoff factor below the ideal value.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A 1.0 m NaCl solution does not show exactly twice the freezing point depression of a 1.0 m glucose solution. Which model limitation best explains this?

ANaCl stops dissolving at every concentration above 0.10 m.

BGlucose becomes ionic at high concentration and cancels the salt effect.

CAt higher electrolyte concentrations, ion interactions reduce the number of independent particles compared with the ideal model.

DColligative properties stop depending on particles in concentrated solutions.

Solution & Explanation:The ideal van't Hoff factor assumes independent ions. In concentrated electrolytes, ion pairing and electrostatic interactions make the observed factor lower than ideal.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

How many moles of ideal NaCl must be added to 2.00 kg of water to lower the freezing point to -3.72 degrees C? Use Kf = 1.86 degrees C/m.

A0.500 mol

B2.00 mol

C1.00 mol

D4.00 mol

Solution & Explanation:Delta Tf = 3.72 degrees C. For NaCl, i = 2, so formula-unit molality = 3.72/(2 x 1.86) = 1.00 m. In 2.00 kg of water, moles NaCl = 1.00 mol/kg x 2.00 kg = 2.00 mol.
