100g of the solution contains 5g of urea and 10g of glucose. What will be freezing point of the solution? (kf of water is 1.86 k kg/mol)

To solve we use formula,  ΔTf = Kf × i × m
where ΔTf is change in freezing  temperature
i  is van’t Hoff factor =1  (both glucose and urea does not dissociate )
Kf = molal freezing  point depression constant = 1.86 Kkg/mol
m is molality of solute or m=total moles of solutes, urea and glucosew1
moles of glucose = 10/180 =  0.056mol
 
moles of urea = 5/60 = 0.083mol
total moles of solutes = 0.139mol
 w1= 100g = 0.1 kg
Therefore, 
m = 0.139/0.1 = 1.39m
 
 
ΔTf = 1.86 × 1 × 1.39
ΔTf = 2.5854K  or  2.5854°C
ΔTf = T°f - Tf
where T°f  is freezing point of pure solvent, water = 273K
and Tf is the freezing point of solution.
 
2.5854 = 273 - Tf
 
Tf = 273- 2.5854 = 270.14K

as, delta Tf = Kf x m

delta Tf = Kf x WB x 1000 / MB x WA

=1.86 x 5 x 1000 /180 x 10

=273 + 5.1 = 278.1 K approx.
