Post-laboratory Assignment Complete the discussion questions and post-lab problems in your lab notebook. Discussion questions Identify three factors that influence the magnitude of the freezing point depression. From a molecular-level perspective (with respect to atoms/ions/molecules), explain why the freezing point of the solution is lower than the freezing point of pure solvent. In Part 2, suppose 10 mL of cyclohexane was added to the test tube, instead of 12 mL . Would the change in volume have an impact on the measured freezing point? Explain your reasoning. Cyclohexane has a vapor pressure of 98 torr at

. If the mass of cyclohexane decreased due to vaporization (and assuming no impact on

), explain how this impacts the

value determined in Part 3. Postlab problems Consider a

(aq) solution.

is a weak acid; only

of the molecules dissociate when dissolved in water. a. Calculate the van't Hoff factor,

, for this solution if

is

dissociated through the following reaction:

Hint: Assume 100 molecules of

. Calculate how many total particles are present after

of the molecules have dissociated and compare it to the original number of particles. For comparison: The acid HCl , a strong electrolyte acid, is

dissociated when dissolved in water and

The acid HCN , a very weak electrolyte acid, is essentially

dissociated and

b. Calculate the freezing point of the

is

; the molar mass of

is

. 3. A CHE 152 student determines the freezing point of the solvent ethylene dibromide to be

. The student dissolves 1.023 g benzoic acid in 23.482 g ethylene dibromide and measures a freezing point of

for the solution. The molal freezing point depression constant for ethylene dibromide is
