The freezing point depression is a colligative property which means that it is proportional to the number of particles dissolved.
The number of particles dissolved depends on the dissociation constant of the solutes, when theyt are ionic substances.
If you have equal concentrations of two solutions on of which is of a ionic compound and the other not, then the ionic soluton will contain more particles (ions) and so its freezing point will decrease more (will be lower at end).
In this way you can compare the freezing points of solutions of KCl, Ch3OH, Ba(OH)2, and CH3COOH, which have the same concentration.
As I explained the solution that produces more ions will exhibit the greates depression of the freezing point, leading to the lowest freezing point.
In this case, Ba(OH)2 will produce 3 iones, while KCl will produce 2, CH3OH will not dissociate into ions, and CH3COOH will have a low dissociation constant.
Answer: Then, you can predict that Ba(OH)2 solution has the lowest freezing point.
We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH
The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])
We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87
So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.
To solve this problem, we must assume ideal gas behaviour so
that we can use Graham’s law:
vA / vB = sqrt (MW_B / MW_A)
where,
<span>vA = speed of diffusion of A (HBR)</span>
vB = speed of diffusion of B (unknown)
MW_B = molecular weight of B (unkown)
MW_A = molar weight of HBr = 80.91 amu
We know from the given that:
vA / vB = 1 / 1.49
So,
1/1.49 = sqrt (MW_B / 80.91)
MW_B = 36.44 g/mol
Since this unknown is also hydrogen halide, therefore this
must be in the form of HX.
HX = 36.44 g/mol , therefore:
x = 35.44 g/mol
From the Periodic Table, Chlorine (Cl) has a molar mass of
35.44 g/mol. Therefore the hydrogen halide is:
HCl
Heat moves through conduction, convection and radiation.
