A 1.0 m solution of HCl in benzene has a freezing point of 0.4 °C. Is HCl an electrolyte in benzene? Explain.
No. Pure benzene freezes at 5.5 °C, and so the observed freezing point of this solution is depressed by Δ T f = 5.5 − 0.4 = 5.1 °C. The value computed, assuming no ionization of HCl, is Δ T f = (1.0 m)(5.14 °C/ m ) = 5.1 °C. Agreement of these values supports the assumption that HCl is not ionized.
