6. Obtain the relationship between freezing point depression of a solution containing 
nonvolatile nonelctrolyte and its molar mass.

Answer:-

1. The freezing point depression (∆Tf) is directly proportional to the molality of the solution.

Thus, ∆Tf = Kf · m

2. Suppose we prepare a solution by dissolving W2 g of solute in W1 g of solvent.

Moles of solute in W1 g of solvent = √W2/M2,

where M2 is the molar mass of the solute.

Mass of solvent = W1 g = W1/1000 kg

3. The molality is expressed as,

m = Moles of solute / Mass of solvent in kg,

m = (1000W2 / (M2 mol)) / (W1/1000 kg)

4. Substituting equation (2) in equation (1), we get,

∆Tf = (1000KfW2) / (M2W1)

Hence,

M2 = (1000KfW2) / (∆TfW1)
