To determine the amount of water separated as ice when the solution is cooled to \(-10^{\circ}C\), we use the concept of freezing point depression. The depression in freezing point is given by the formula:
\(\Delta T_f = i \cdot K_f \cdot m\)
where:
Step 1: Calculate the molality (m) of ethylene glycol
The molar mass of ethylene glycol (\(\text{C}_2\text{H}_6\text{O}_2\)) is \(62 \, \text{g/mol}\). Therefore, the molality is calculated as follows:
\(m = \frac{\text{mass of solute (g)}}{\text{molar mass of solute (g/mol)} \times \text{mass of solvent (kg)}}\)
\(m = \frac{62}{62 \times 0.25} = 4\, \text{mol/kg}\)
Step 2: Calculate the freezing point depression
The freezing point depression is calculated using:
\(\Delta T_f = i \cdot K_f \cdot m = 1 \times 1.86 \times 4 = 7.44 \, \text{K}\)
The normal freezing point of water is \(0^{\circ}C\). So, the depressed freezing point is:
\(0^{\circ}C - 7.44^{\circ}C = -7.44^{\circ}C\)
Step 3: Determine how much water needs to freeze to achieve a temperature of \(-10^{\circ}C\)
Since the given temperature is \(-10^{\circ}C\), which is lower than \(-7.44^{\circ}C\), some water must separate as ice to achieve this temperature.
The new molality when water separates as ice can be re-calculated:
Let \(x\) be the mass of water (in kg) that separates as ice:
The new mass of water remaining = \(0.25 - x\) kg.
New molality = \(m' = \frac{62}{62 \times (0.25 - x)}\)
At equilibrium (to maintain \(-10^{\circ}C\)):
\(10 = 1.86 \times \frac{1}{0.25 - x}\)
Solving for \(x\):
\(10 = 1.86 \times \frac{1}{0.25 - x}\)
\(0.25 - x = \frac{1.86}{10}\)
\(0.25 - x = 0.186\)
\(x = 0.25 - 0.186 = 0.064 \, \text{kg} = 64 \, \text{g}\)
Thus, the amount of water separated as ice is 64 g.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.
For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.
The solutions can be classified into three types:
On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:
