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.
