Calculate the mass of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C, C₆H₈O₆) to be dissolved in 75 g of acetic acid to lower its melting point by 1.5°C. K_f = 3.9 K kg mol⁻¹.

A 5% solution (by mass) of cane sugar in water has freezing point of 271 K. Calculate the freezing point of 5% glucose in water if freezing point of pure water is 273.15 K.

Two elements A and B form compounds having formula AB₂ and AB₄. When dissolved in 20 g of benzene (C₆H₆), 1 g of AB₂ lowers the freezing point by 2.3 K whereas 1.0 g of AB₄ lowers it by 1.3 K. The molar depression constant for benzene is 5.1 K kg mol⁻¹. Calculate the atomic masses of A and B.

The depression in freezing point of water observed for the same amount of acetic acid, trichloroacetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid increases in the order given above. Explain briefly.

Calculate the depression in the freezing point of water when 10 g of CH₃CH₂CHClCOOH is added to 250 g of water. K_a = 1.4 × 10⁻³, K_f = 1.86 K kg mol⁻¹.
