  • Freezing Point Depression Calculation: C7H11NO7S in Water
    The freezing point depression constant, $K_f$, for water is 1.86 °C/m. The molar mass of C7H11NO7S is 239.25 g/mol.

    To calculate the freezing point depression, we first need to calculate the molality of the solution:

    $$molality = \frac{moles\ C_7H_{11}NO_7S}{kg\ H_2O}$$

    $$molality = \frac{(25.5\ g \ C_7H_{11}NO_7S)}{(1.00\ x 10^2\ g\ H_2O)} \times \frac{1\ mol\ C_7H_{11}NO_7S}{239.25\ g \ C_7H_{11}NO_7S}$$

    $$molality = 1.06\ m$$

    Now, we can calculate the freezing point depression:

    $$\Delta T_f = K_f \times molality$$

    $$\Delta T_f = 1.86\ \frac{°C}{m} \times 1.06\ m$$

    $$\Delta T_f = 1.98\ °C$$

    Finally, we can calculate the freezing point of the solution:

    $$Freezing\ point = 0\ °C - \Delta T_f$$

    $$Freezing\ point = 0\ °C - 1.98\ °C$$

    $$Freezing\ point = -1.98\ °C$$

    Therefore, the freezing point of 25.5 g of C7H11NO7S in 1.00 x 10^2 g of H2O is -1.98 °C.
