A solution is prepared by dissolving 4.0 moles of NaCl into 2.0 kg of water. Calculate the molality of the solution and predict how this might affect its boiling point.
💡 Hint: Don’t forget to connect your molality to the boiling point elevation formula!
You have a solution with 6.0 moles of a solute in 3.0 kg of water. If the solution exhibits a certain freezing point depression, explain how changing the solute to one with a higher van't Hoff factor would alter the freezing point.
💡 Hint: Remember that freezing point depression is dependent on the molality times the van’t Hoff factor.
