Correct answer
C3 cups of water to 2 cups of pure milk
Step-by-step explanation
We know,
Tf = i kf m
TfDil. Milk = (1) kf mdil = 0.2 ...(1)
TfPure Milk = (1) kf mpure = 0.5 ...(2)
From (1) and (2), we get
= ....(3)
Assume moles of fat in both the milk samples = n
Weight of milk = w1
and weight of water = w0
Molality of pure milk,
mpure = ....(4)
Molality of diluted milk,
mdil. = ....(5)
From (4) and (5), we get
Using equation (3), we get
5w1 = 2w1 + 2w0
3w1 = 2w0
Which means 3 cups of water has been added to 2 cups of pure milk.
