PROCESSING THE DATA l. Determinethe difference in freezingtemperatures, betweenthe pure lauric acid (T) and At, the mixture of lauric acid and benzoicacid (T1or T2).Use the formula, AT - f - Tr o,z.

2. The freezingpoint depression constantfor lauric acid is 3.9 "Clm. Calculatethe molality (z) of the solution(units of mol/kg) using the formula: At :Kf , m 3. Convert the-1pass lauric acid me_lled of into$ (samefor both trials)

4. Calculatethe moles of benzoicusing the formula for molality (m): moles soluteikgsolvent. 5. Use your measured moles of benzoicto calculatethe massof benzoicand calculated molecularmassof benzoic(units of grams/mole).Recall for trial I therewas about0.2 g of benzoicacid and in trial 2 we added0.3 g of benzoicacid.

6 . If the formula of benzoicacid is C 7 . Calculatethe percentenor. CALCULA

OH, calculatethe acceptedor true molecularmass.
