<u>Answer:</u>
<em>The energy to turn the ice into water:</em>
- The energy that is required to change the state of ice into a liquid is obtained in the form of heat energy from the ambient temperature of the warm room.
- Once this heat energy is absorbed, the individual molecules of ice gain kinetic energy and start vibrating faster.
- Yet, the temperature of the ice remains constant until the ice reaches its melting point because this energy is first utilised to break all the bonds of the lattice structure of the ice.
- After all the bonds are broken and all of the ice has changed into water, if more heat is provided again, then the temperature of the water will increase.
As the temperature increases, the solubility of the solute in the liquid also increases. This is due to the fact that the increase in energy allows the liquid to more effectively break up the solute. The additoin of energy also shifts the equilibrium of the reation to the right since it takes energy to dissolve most things and you are adding more of it (this is explained with Le Chatlier principles).
I hope this helps and also I assumed that your question involved the solubility of an ionic substance in a solvent like water. If that was not your question feel free to say so in the comments so that I can answer your actually question.
The answer is 62.00 g/mol.
Solution:
Knowing that the freezing point of water is 0°C, temperature change Δt is
Δt = 0C - (-1.23°C) = 1.23°C
Since the van 't Hoff factor i is essentially 1 for non-electrolytes dissolved in water, we calculate for the number of moles x of the compound dissolved from the equation
Δt = i Kf m
1.23°C = (1) (1.86°C kg mol-1) (x / 0.105 kg)
x = 0.069435 mol
Therefore, the molar mass of the solute is
molar mass = 4.305g / 0.069435mol = 62.00 g/mol
D) Contain Chemical bonds.
