granite better than marble for a statue in a city, because marble reacts with acid, when Granite does not and it is one of the strongest minerals in the mohs scale therefore granite is a better solution for a city centre statue

Granite is stronger, and it doesn't grow mold in the rain. It also looks better than marble and is easier to carve.

When of alanine are dissolved in of a certain mystery liquid , the freezing point of the solution is less than the freezing poin

LenaWriter [7]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

When 177. g of alanine $(C_3H_7NO_2)$ are dissolved in 800.0 g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is $5.9^oC$ lower than the freezing point of pure X. On the other hand, when 177.0 g of potassium bromide are dissolved in the same mass of X, the freezing point of the solution is $7.2^oC$ lower than the freezing point of pure X. Calculate the van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X.

Answer: The van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X is 1.63

Explanation:

Depression in the freezing point is defined as the difference between the freezing point of the pure solvent and the freezing point of the solution.

The expression for the calculation of depression in freezing point is:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times w_{solvent}\text{(in g)}}$ ......(1)

When alanine is dissolved in mystery liquid X:

$\Delta T_f=5.9^oC$

i = Vant Hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

$K_f$ = freezing point depression constant

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (alanine) = 177. g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (alanine) = 89 g/mol

$w_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent = 800.0 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$5.9=1\times K_f\times \frac{177\times 1000}{89\times 800}\\\\K_f=\frac{5.9\times 89\times 800}{1\times 177\times 1000}\\\\K_f=2.37^oC/m$

When KBr is dissolved in mystery liquid X:

$\Delta T_f=7.2^oC$

i = Vant Hoff factor = ?

$K_f$ = freezing point depression constant = $2.37^oC/m$

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (KBr) = 177. g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (KBr) = 119 g/mol

$w_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent = 800.0 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$7.2=i\times 2.37\times \frac{177\times 1000}{119\times 800}\\\\i=\frac{7.2\times 119\times 800}{2.37\times 177\times 1000}\\\\i=1.63$

Hence, the van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X is 1.63

In the heating curve of an unknown substance, the line labeled C represents what change(s)?

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

C) Temperature and Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the generic heating curve on the attached file, it possible to see that on the point C, whereas the line is diagonal, the temperature increases, but also the kinetic energy increases because the molecules gain energy due to the increase of the temperature. It is important to say that on flat lines, like those on B and D, the phase change takes place and just the potential energy change.

In such a way, we infer that the answer is C) Temperature and Kinetic Energy.

Best regards!

B.
genotype; phenotype

Genetic variation determines inherited differences between individuals . Our height or eye color are inherited from our parents, but our phenotype is also affected by environment such as the food we eat (diet), drugs we take, toxins surrounding us, climate, location, culture, physical accidents and lifestyle.
