What mass of ethylene glycol C2H6O2, the main component of antifreeze, must be added to 10.0 L water to produce a solution for use in a car's radiator that freezes at -23C? Assume density for water is exactly 1g/mL.
-----------------------------------
This is what i have so far:
Freezing point for water is 0.0degree C and Kf = 1.86C/m.
First we find out the freezing point:
=(-23.0)-(0.0_
=-23.0 degrees C
Calculate target Colligative Molarity:
= -23=1.86 * Cm
= 12.37= Cm.
Now we determine the number of grams needed to produce a solution with Cm= 12.37.
We need to find i* molarity:
I don't know how to determine the i: i know that its an integer equal to the number of particles(ions) present in one formula unit of the solute. If i is greater than 1 the molecules dissociates; and if less than 1 then the molecule associates in solution.
and then i use:
molarity = moles of solute (KNO3)/ kg of solvent (water)

CORRECTION : molarity = moles of solute (C2H6O2)/ kg of solvent (water)
i is 1 in antifreeze.
You are not using molarity, you should be using molality, which is moles of antifreeze/kg of solvent
I don't know how potassium nitrate got in there.
12.37=molesantifreeze/kg water
solve for the moles of antifreeze, then convert that to mass

Before I forget, molarity is the number of moles per liter of solution. Molality is the number of moles per kg of solvent. I think your last statement is incorrect. The i for ethylene glycol is 1; i.e., it doesn't ionize.
SO:

i* molality
i= 1
12.37= 1*m
12.37= m
molality= moles of solute(C2H6O2)/kg of solvent water
12.37m= moles C2H6O2/ 10.0kg water
123.7= moles of C2H6O2
123.7moles C2H6O2 * 62.26g C2H6O2
= 7701.56 g of C2H6O2
I think this number is quite high can someone please double check to see if i got the answer right.
Thank YOu

thats rite
thats not right its n
I don't think thats right because it's not 10 kg of water. You need to divide 10 L by 1000 to get 0.01 mL which is then 0.01 g which is then 0.00001 kg water.
Naomi is incorrect, assuming density is 1g/mL, that's equal to 1kg/L. So 10.0L water = 10.0kg water.
Saira's answer is correct.
