How much ethyl alcohol must be added 1L of water so that the solution will not freeze at -20°c (density of water =1g/cc)

Molal depression constant of water (Kf ) = 1.86 K kg mol-1

Density of water = 1 g / cc = 1 kg / L

Given ,Volume of water = 1 L

Therefore mass of water = 1 kg

Freezing point = -20oC = ( 273-20) K= 253 K

Freezing point of water = 273 K

Hence, depression in freezing point = Kx  m   (m= molality )

(273-253) K = 1.86 K kg mol-1 x (moles of ethyl alcohol) /mass of solvent in kg

20 = 1.86 x ( moles of ethyl alcohol) / 1 Kg

moles of ethyl alcohol = 20/1.86 = 10.753 mol

Mass of 10. 753 mol of ethyl alcohol = 46 x 10.753 g = 494.638 g.

So , more than 494.638 g will be added to lower the freezing point.
