Introduction
Boiling Point and Freezing Point : Generally, on cooling a liquid its
temperature falls gradually till it starts freezing. At this point the temperature
remains constant till whole of the liquid changes into solid.
In the same manner, on heating a liquid its temperature rises gradually till a
stage comes when the temperature does not rise further and the liquid starts
boiling. The fixed temperature at which a certain liquid boils is termed as the
boiling point of liquid. The boiling point of water is 1000C or 373 K.
Freezing point of a substance is the temperature at which the solid and the
liquid forms of substance have same vapour pressure.
Experiment No.1
AIM :- To determine the effect of impurities on the freezing point of water.
PROCEDURE :-
1) Take three clean and dry boiling tubes and label them as 1,2,3.
2) Take 20ml distilled water in each boiling tube. Add 1g of glucose to boiling
tube no.2 and 2g of glucose to boiling tube no. 3. Shake till the glucose is
dissolved.
3) Put a mixture of ice and KNO3 in a beaker and fix test tube no. 1 in it and dip
a stirrer. Insert a thermometer in a bored cork and fix in a stand in such a way
that its bulb dips in water in the boiling tube.
4) Water is stirred in the boiling tube and watch the temperature which is
falling gradually. Note the temperature when it remains constant and water
starts freezing. This is the freezing point of the pure water.
5) Take away boiling tube no. 1 from the beaker and replace it by the boiling
tube no. 2. Repeat the experiment and note the freezing point of glucose
solution (it is 5% since 1g is dissolved in 20ml water).
6) Now place boiling tube no. 3 in position and repeat the experiment to note its
freezing point. (10% glucose).
Observation :-
FREEZING POINT
RESULT :-
Experiment no.2
APPARATUS REQUIRED : - Three boiling tubes each fitted with cork with
two holes, 1100 thermometer with 0.10C calibration, sand bath, burner, iron
stand.
PROCEDURE :-
1) Take three clean and dry boiling tubes fitted with a cork with two holes
(each) one for the thermometer and other for a delivery tube.
2) Take 20ml distilled water in each boiling tube. Add 1g of glucose to boiling
tube no.2 and 2g of glucose to boiling tube no.3. Shake till the glucose is
dissolved.
3) Fit boiling tube no. 1 with a thermometer, keeping its bulb above the level of
water. Fit it with a delivery tube, fit it in an iron stand and start heating it on a
sand bath.
4) Heat and watch the temperature which rises gradually and note it when
becomes constant, i.e. when water starts boiling. This is the boiling point of
pure water.
5) Now fit the boiling tube no. 2 in the above described manner and heat it.
Note the boiling point of 5% glucose solution.
Observation :-
BOILING POINT
PURE WATER 10% GLUCOSE 20% GLUCOSE
RESULT :-
The running of a car in sub zero whether even when the radiator is full of water
(which freezes below 273 K) has been possible due to fact that depression in
freezing point of water takes place when appropriate amount of a suitable
solute (usually ethylene glycol) called antifreeze is dissolved in water.
For example freezing point of water is OoC under normal atmospheric pressure.
If we add sugar or salt to this water its vapour pressure lowers and freezing
point decreases.
Conclusion
1) The impurities present in a liquid pull its two fixed points away from each
other i.e. the freezing point is lowered while the boiling point is raised.
2) The depression in freezing point and the elevation in boiling point increases
with increase in the concentration of the solute or impurity i.e. these are the
colligative properties that depends only on the no. of moles of the solute. They
are independent of the nature of the solute
