An aqueous solution of potassium sulfate exhibits colligative properties. Colligative properties are properties that depends on the concentration of a substance in a solution. These properties are freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, osmotic pressure and boiling point elevation. For this problem we use the concept of freezing point depression since we are given the freezing point of the solution. Freezing point depression is as:
ΔT = -k(f) x m x i
-2.24 - 0 = -1.86 x m x 3
<span>m = 0.4014
Thus, the molality of the solution is 0.4014.</span>

Answer:
36290 min = 604.8 hr.
Explanation:
1 lbs = 453.59237 grams.
∴ 2 lbs = 907.18474 grams.
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
500 mg of iron oxide dissolved → 20 minutes.
907184.74 mg of iron oxide dissolved → ??? minutes.
<em>∴ The time needed to dissolve 2 lbs of iron oxide =</em> (907184.74 mg)(20 min)/(500 mg) = <em>36290 min = 604.8 hr.</em>
Answer: The early atmosphere
Explanation: Its early atmosphere was probably formed from the gases given out by volcanoes. It is believed that there was intense volcanic activity for the first billion years of the Earth's existence. The early atmosphere was probably mostly carbon dioxide, with little or no oxygen.
