Solutions, colligative property conceptual doubt
The number of moles of acetic acid here are = 45
number of moles of H2O here are = 150
We use the
Kf
of water here to get the correct answer because water has more moles
But acetic acid is definitely not negligible here
Suppose we had 99 moles of acetic acid and 100 moles of water. Would we still use the exact Kf
of water? why? if there were 101 moles of acetic acid and 100 moles of water, would we suddenly use the Kf
of acetic acid? how does this work

Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2...
to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.Acetic acid means glacial acetic acid na? It's not a solvent at all
oh interesting
wait
how would colligative properties work if the solute was liquid
liquid-liquid solution
Raoult's Law applies I presume there. We haven't defined our colligative properties for liquid-liquid solutions in twelfth I'm pretty sure.
ah oke
so for solid-liquid
freezing point of the solution = freezing point of solvent
Yeah, we consider a 'non volatile' solute
yeah
Liquids, though they may be really stable, will still technically volatile to a point.
ahh okay
Abysmally low vapour pressure is still non-zero
makes sense, thank u
