The substance that releases the greatest amount of ions will have the greatest attractive forces within its solution, resulting in a reduced freezing point.
K₂SO₄ yields 3 ions
NH₄I yields 2 ions
CoCl₃ yields 4 ions
Freezing points:
CoCl₃ < K₂SO₄ < NH₄I
Answer: The percentage by mass of sulphur in
is 9.36%
Explanation:
Mass percent of an element is the ratio of mass of that element by the total mass expressed in terms of percentage.

Given: mass of sulphur = 32 g/mol
mass of
= 342 g/mol
Putting in the values we get:

The percentage by mass of sulphur in
is 9.36%
Answer:
Explanation:
1) Chemical formula of sodium carbonate: <em>Na₂CO₃</em>
2) Ratio of carbon atoms:
- The number of atoms of C in the unit formula Na₂CO₃ is the subscript for the atom, which is 1 (since it is not written).
Hence, the ratio is 1 C atom / 1 Na₂CO₃ unit formula.
This is, there is 1 atom of carbon per each unit formula of sodium carbonate.
3) Calculate the number of moles in 1.773 × 10⁷ carbon atoms
- Divide by Avogadro's number: 6.022 × 10²³ atoms / mol
- number C moles = 1.773 × 10⁷ atoms / (6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol)
- number C moles = 2.941 × 10⁻¹⁷ mol
Since, the ratio is 1: 1, the number of moles of sodium carbonate is the same number of moles of carbon atoms.
Well it breaks down into small parts
