Given

V->"Volume of the gaseous solute"=4LVVolume of the gaseous solute=4L

P->"Pressure of the gaseous solute"=748mm=748/760atmPPressure of the gaseous solute=748mm=748760atm

T->"Pressure of the gaseous solute"=27^@C=300KTPressure of the gaseous solute=27C=300K

n->"Number of moles of the gaseous solute"=?nNumber of moles of the gaseous solute=?

R->"Universal gas constant"=0.082LatmK^-1mol^-1RUniversal gas constant=0.082LatmK1mol1

By equation of state for ideal gas

PV=nRTPV=nRT

=>n=(PV)/(RT)=(748/760xx4)/(0.082xx300)=0.16moln=PVRT=748760×40.082×300=0.16mol

Mass of solvent (benzene)=58g=0.058kg=58g=0.058kg

Molality of the solution

="moles of solute"/"mass of solvent in kg"=moles of solutemass of solvent in kg

=0.16/0.058=2.76m=0.160.058=2.76m

The depression of freezing point

DeltaT_f="molality"xxK_f

=2.76xx5.12=14.13^@
