    This document outlines an experiment to determine the molar mass of unknown liquids and solids through measuring their freezing point depression when dissolved in water. Key steps include measuring the freezing point of pure water, preparing solutions of each unknown in water, measuring the freezing point of each solution twice, calculating molality, mass of unknown used, and molar mass. Calculations of percent error and van't Hoff factor are also presented to analyze the results.

    Additional Calculations and Results

    28. Given the theoretical molar mass for your unknown liquid (page E01-4), and using the calculated
    molar mass for your unknown liquid, calculate the relative percent error in your result versus the
    theoretical value of the molar mass of the unknown liquid.

    29. Given the theoretical molar mass for your unknown solid (page E01-4), and using the calculated
    molar mass for your unknown solid, calculate the van’t Hoff factor, 𝑖, for your unknown solid.

    Post-Lab Questions

    30. A student found an experimental molar mass of 68.04 g for KBr by measuring freezing
    point depression. Calculate the van’t Hoff factor and find the percent dissociation of the
    KBr.
    Post-Lab Questions (continued)

    31. MgCl2 has a theoretical van’t Hoff factor of 3 because it dissociates into three ions when
    dissolved in water. The measured value of the van’t Hoff factor for MgCl2 is typically no higher
    than 2.7. Explain why measured values of the van’t Hoff factors for ionic compounds are always
    lower than the theoretical values.

    Explain how the molar mass of the unknown would be affected if during the experiment each of the
    following had happened:

    32. After adding the unknown to the water-ice mixture, the mixture was not stirred before recording
    the freezing point depression.

    33. When separating the solution from the ice, some ice fell into the solution and was weighed with
    the solution.
    Results & Discussion: The main experimental result(s) should be clearly summarized and related back
    to the purpose of the experiment. Should also include a brief discussion of experimental error when
    applicable.
