Scientific theories change because theories may be modified or overturned as new evidence and perspective emerges. ... The process of theory change may take time and involve controversy, but eventually the scientific explanation that is more accurate will be accepted. Hoped you get it!

25 g of a compound is added to 500 mL of water if the freezing point of the resulting solution is

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

a) 119 g/mol

Explanation:

-We apply the formula for freezing point depression to obtain the molality of the solution:

$\bigtriangleup T_f=K_fm, \ \ K_f=1.36\textdegree C/m\\\\\therefore m=\frac{\bigtriangleup T_f}{K_f}\\\\=\frac{0.57\textdegree C}{1.36\textdegree C}\\\\=0.4191\ mol/Kg\\\\$

#We use the molality above to calculate the molar mass:

$m=\frac{0.4191\ mol}{1\ Kg}=\frac{25\ g}{0.5\ Kg}\\\\\therefore 1 \ mol=\frac{25\ g}{0.5\ Kg}\times\frac{1\ Kg}{ 0.4191}\\\\=119.3033\approx 119\ g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of the compound is 119 g/mol

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Explanation:(differences)SOLIDS have maximum intermolecular attraction and fixed shape so their particles are stable. LIQUIDS have small particles and are tightly held by molecular bond but not as tight as solid. liquid assume the shape of their container.GAS has free movement of particles...SIMILARITIES.. Liquid,solid and gases can be kept in containers...
