Which of the following solutes will lower the freezing point of water the most? NaCl, CaCl2!or AlBr3

1 answer:

6 0

This uses the concept of freezing point depression. When faced with this issue, we use the following equation:
ΔT = i·Kf·m
which translates in english to:
Change in freezing point = vant hoff factor * molal freezing point depression constant * molality of solution
Because the freezing point depression is a colligative property, it does not depend on the identity of the molecules, just the number of them.
Now, we know that molality will be constant, and Kf will be constant, so our only unknown is "i", or the van't hoff factor.
The van't hoff factor is the number of atoms that dissociate from each individual molecule. The higher the van't hoff factor, the more depressed the freezing point will be.
NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl-, so it has i = 2
CaCl2 will dissociate into Ca2+ and 2 Cl-, so it has i = 3
AlBr3 will dissociate into Al3+ and 3 Br-, so it has i = 4
Therefore, AlBr3 will lower the freezing point of water the most.

When a certain amount of MgF2 is added to water, the freezing point lowers by 3.5° C. What was the molality of the

Leni [432]

The molality of the solution is obtained as 0.63 m.

<h3>What is the freezing point?</h3>

The freezing point is the temperature at which the liquid is converted into solid.

We know that;

ΔT = 3.5° C

K = 1.86° C/m

i = 3

m = ?

Thus;

ΔT = K m i

m = ΔT/K i

m = 3.5° C/ 1.86° C/m * 3

m = 0.63 m

Why would a biological stain be used? (Give examples of stains and their uses)

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Biological stains are used for the medical and biological industries to aid in detection of structures within tissues. This can include the detection of abnormalities, but is not limited to that. The stains are used to define and examine cell populations within the tissues, to mark cells, or to flag proteins.

What happens when energy is released during atomic fission

Vesnalui [34]

Nuclear energy is called the energy obtained by the transformation of atomic nuclei, so small and heavy clusters of particles inside the atom. Nuclear energy can be produced in two ways, by cleavage or synthesis of nuclei. Heavy nuclei of radioactive elements such as uranium or plutonium, can be split into two nuclei. By splitting are released from the nucleus of neutrons that collide with other nuclei causing them to split and subsequent emission of neutrons. This is called a chain reaction. The condition calls self-sustaining nuclear reaction is slowing down neutrons. For this purpose, a special substance, called moderator. The neutrons collide with the molecules of the moderator precipitate heating speed while the moderator. The resulting heat heats the water so that a couple who drives a turbine generating electricity. Another way of producing nuclear energy is nuclear fusion, in which nuclei combine to light elements. So far, fusion, however, failed to carry out so that it can be applied to the economy as a source of energy.
