What are the similarities between molecules and elements

A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically. A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements. All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.

Molecular hydrogen (H2), molecular oxygen (O2) and molecular nitrogen (N2) are not compounds because each is composed of a single element. Water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are compounds because each is made from more than one element. The smallest bit of each of these substances would be referred to as a molecule. For example, a single molecule of molecular hydrogen is made from two atoms of hydrogen while a single molecule of water is made from two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

An aqueous CsCl solution is 8.00 wt% CsCl and has a density of 1.0643 g/mL at 20°C. What is the boiling point of this solution?

<u>Answer:</u> The boiling point of solution is 100.53

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

8.00 wt % of CsCl

This means that 8.00 grams of CsCl is present in 100 grams of solution

Mass of solvent = (100 - 8) g = 92 grams

The equation used to calculate elevation in boiling point follows:

$\Delta T_b=\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}$

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_b=iK_bm$

Or,

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}=i\times K_b\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

Boiling point of pure solution = 100°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 2 (For CsCl)

$K_b$ = molal boiling point elevation constant = 0.51°C/m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (CsCl) = 8.00 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (CsCl) = 168.4 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (water) = 92 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-100=2\times 0.51^oC/m\times \frac{8.00\times 1000}{168.4g/mol\times 92}\\\\\text{Boiling point of solution}=100.53^oC$
