The chemical formula for the compound containing 8.6 mol of sulfur and 3.42 mol of phosphorus is P₂S₅

<h3>How do I determine the formula of the compound?</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obatined:

  • Sulphur (S) = 8.6 moles
  • Phosphorus (P) = 3.42 mole
  • Chemical formula =?

The chemical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:

Divide by their molar mass

S = 8.6 / 32 = 0.26875

P = 3.42 / 31 = 0.11032

Divide by the smallest

S = 0.26875 / 0.11032 = 2.44

P = 0.11032 / 0.11032 = 1

Multiply by 2 to express in whole number

S = 2.44 × 2 = 5

P = 1 × 2 = 2

Thus, the chemical formula is P₂S₅

Given that the freezing point depression constant for water is 1.86°c kg/mol, calculate the change in freezing point for a 0.907
melamori03 [73]

Answer : The correct answer for change in freezing point = 1.69 ° C

Freezing point depression :

It is defined as depression in freezing point of solvent when volatile or non volatile solute is added .

SO when any solute is added freezing point of solution is less than freezing point of pure solvent . This depression in freezing point is directly proportional to molal concentration of solute .

It can be expressed as :

ΔTf = Freezing point of pure solvent - freezing point of solution = i* kf * m

Where : ΔTf = change in freezing point (°C)

i = Von't Hoff factor

kf =molal freezing point depression constant of solvent.\frac{^0 C}{m}

m = molality of solute (m or \frac{mol}{Kg} )

Given : kf = 1.86 \frac{^0 C*Kg}{mol}

m = 0.907 \frac{mol}{Kg} )

Von't Hoff factor for non volatile solute is always = 1 .Since the sugar is non volatile solute , so i = 1

Plugging value in expression :

ΔTf = 1* 1.86 \frac{^0 C*Kg}{mol} * 0.907\frac{mol}{Kg} )

ΔTf = 1.69 ° C

Hence change in freezing point = 1.69 °C
