Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : Molal depression...

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : Molal depression constant Kf\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}} is given by M1RTfΔSfus\frac{M_1 R T_f}{\Delta S_{f u s}}, where symbols have their usual meaning.
Statement (II) : Kf\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}} for benzene is less than the Kf\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}} for water.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. AStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  3. CBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
  4. DStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Correct answer

D. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Step-by-step solution

Statement-IMolar depression constant \mathrm{k}_f=\frac{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{RT}_{\mathrm{f}^2}{\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\text{fus }}}kf=M1RTf[ΔHfus Tf]&kf=M1RTfΔSfus \begin{aligned}& \mathrm{k}_f=\frac{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{RT}_{\mathrm{f}}}{\left[\frac{\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\text{fus }}}{\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}}\right]} \& \mathrm{k}_f=\frac{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{RT}_f}{\Delta \mathrm{ S}_{\text{fus }}}\end{aligned}$Hencestatement−IiscorrectHence statement-I is correct\text{ but } \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}} \text{\text{ for } benzene }=5.12 \frac{{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{molal}} \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}forwaterfor water=1.86 \frac{{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\text{ molal }}$ Hence statement- II is incorrect
