Molar Mass Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator determines the molar mass of a solvent using its ebullioscopic constant, enthalpy of vaporization, and boiling point.
Purpose: It helps chemists and researchers calculate solvent properties important for colligative properties and solution chemistry.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula relates the boiling point elevation properties of a solvent to its molar mass through thermodynamic principles.
Details: Knowing the molar mass is essential for preparing solutions with precise concentrations and understanding colligative properties.
Tips: Enter the ebullioscopic constant (default 0.512 K·kg/mol for water), enthalpy of vaporization in J/mol, and boiling point in Kelvin. All values must be > 0.
Q1: What is the ebullioscopic constant?
A: It's a constant that relates molality to boiling point elevation for a particular solvent.
Q2: How do I find the enthalpy of vaporization?
A: It can be found in chemical reference tables or determined experimentally using calorimetry.
Q3: Why must temperature be in Kelvin?
A: The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale required for thermodynamic calculations.
Q4: What's a typical ebullioscopic constant value?
A: For water it's 0.512 K·kg/mol, but varies for other solvents (e.g., 2.53 for benzene).
Q5: Can I use this for any solvent?
A: Yes, as long as you have the correct constants and boiling point for your solvent.
