You wish to prepare an antifreeze solution for your car's radiator from distilled water and ethylene glycol (C2H6O2, MW = 62.07 g/mol) that freezes at - 15.00℃. What mass, in kg, of ethylene glycol needs to be added to 3.79 liters of distilled water? For water, Kf=1.86℃/m. List your answer with three significant digits.

    There is 1.8961Kg of ethylene glycol needed.

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Given data

    Molar mass of ethylene glycol = 62.07 g/mole

    T = - 15.00 °C

    Volume = 3.79 L

    Kf=1.86°C/m

    Step 2: Calculate molality

    ΔT = - Kf * m

    with ΔT = - 15 - 0 = - 15 °C (we use 0 because that's the normal freezing temperature of water).

    with K (f) = 1.86°C / m

    m = ΔT / Kf

    m = - 15°C / - 1.86°C/m

    m = 8.06 mole C2H6O2 / 1 kg water

    Step 3: Calculate moles needed for 3.79kg

    Since 1L=1kg; 3.79L = 3.79kg

    ⇒ 8.06 moles/1kg * 3.79kg = 30.5474 moles C2H6O2 needed

    Step 4: Calculating mass of C2H6O2

    mass of C2H6O2 = Moles of C2H6O2 / Molar mass of C2H6O2

    mass of C2H6O2 = 30.5474/62.07 g/mole = 1896.08 grams = 1.8961 Kg

    There is 1.8961Kg of ethylene glycol needed.
