<u>Answer:</u> The experimental van't Hoff factor is 1.21
<u>Explanation:</u>
The expression for the depression in freezing point is given as:

where,
i = van't Hoff factor = ?
= depression in freezing point = 0.225°C
= Cryoscopic constant = 1.86°C/m
m = molality of the solution = 0.100 m
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the experimental van't Hoff factor is 1.21
Take the attached picture of a periodic table as a guide. You are finding for a solid metal. Therefore, streamline your choices by looking at elements written in black bold letters, because they are all solid. Next, if you look at the center, the legend for metals are colors in orange, yellow, flesh, lavender, pink, and cyan blue. These region would be your choices. Next, you want to find a metal that is shiny and ductile. The shiny appearance is a common characteristic of luster by materials. Ductility is the ability of a metal to stretch when under tensile stress. These properties are best exhibited by metals in the transitions metals colored in pink. Therefore, the answer to your question would be any of the metal in the pink area. Examples are Titanium, Chromium, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Tungsten, etc.
<h2>Answer : Option B) Hydrogen</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>
All fossil fuels contains hydrocarbons in it. Amongst the given options hydrogen is the correct answer. Except that it contains carbon in it. Hydrocarbons are those class of compounds which contains hydrogen and carbon as element in it.
They are considered to be good fuels because they naturally bring out complete combustion as they contain hydrogen and carbon in its compound form.
Pushing down a piston in an airtight cylinder would tend to increase the pressure in the system since the particle collision and collisions with the walls are now more frequent. Also, pushing further, the gas would undergo a phase change from gas to a liquid.
