Answer: b.more acidic the solution

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Acids are substances which gives $H^+$ ions when dissolved in water.

$HX\rightarrow H^++X^-$

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH=log\frac {1}{H^+}$

Thus as pH and $H^+$ are inversely related, a solution having lower pH will have more amount of $H^+$ concentration , a lower amount of $OH^_$ concentration and will be more acidic.

A solution is prepared by mixing 2.17 g of an unknown non-electrolyte with 225.0 g of chloroform. The freezing point of the resu

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown non-electrolyte is 64.3 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of an unknown non-electrolyte = 2.17 grams

Mass of chloroform = 225.0 grams

The freezing point of the resulting solution is –64.2 °C

The freezing point of pure chloroform is – 63.5°C

kf = 4.68°C/m

Step 2: Calculate molality

ΔT = i*kf*m

⇒ ΔT = The freezing point depression = T (pure solvent) − T(solution) = -63.5°C + 64.2 °C = 0.7 °C

⇒i = the van't Hoff factor = non-electrolyte = 1

⇒ kf = the freezing point depression constant = 4.68 °C/m

⇒ m = molality = moles unknown non-electrolyte / mass chloroform

0.7 °C = 1 * 4.68 °C/m * m

m = 0.150 molal

Step 3: Calculate moles unknown non-electrolyte

molality = moles unknown non-electrolyte / mass chloroform

Moles unknown non-electrolyte = 0.150 molal * 0.225 kg

Moles unknown non-electrolyte = 0.03375 moles

Step 4: Calculate molecular mass unknown non-electrolyte

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 2.17 grams / 0.03375 moles

Molar mass = 64.3 g/mol

The molar mass of the unknown non-electrolyte is 64.3 g/mol

LenaWriter [7]

Characteristic properties can be used to describe and identify the substances, while non-characteristic properties, although can be used to describe the substances, cannot be used to identify them.

Temperature, mass, color, shape and volume are examples of non-characteristic properties.

Density, boiling point, melting point, chemical reactivity are examples of characteristic properties.

List of the properties observed by the scientist:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Property                                     Type of property
----------------------------------------------------------------
Volume: 5 ml                              non-characteristic
