At what approximate temperature will a 40% ethanol solution freeze?

In order to solve the problem, we first need to create a condition for the problem.

Given:

ω% (C2H5OH) = 40%

delta t =?

Decision:

Cm = m (alcohol) * m (water) * mol.

Cm = m (C2H5OH) / (M (C2H5OH) * m (H2O) = 400 grams / 46 grams / mol * 0.6 kg = 8.69 mol / kg.
delta t = 1.86 * 8.69 = 26.93.
Answer: the solution will freeze at a temperature of – 26.93 0С.
