Answer:
False
Explanation:
False. The molecules of liquid are hold in the liquid state due to intermolecular forces or Van de Waals forces , without affecting the molecule itself and its atomic bonds (covalent bonds). When the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules is higher , therefore they have more possibilities to escape from the attractive intermolecular forces and go to the gas state.
Note however that this is caused because the intermolecular forces are really weak compared to covalent bonds, therefore is easier to break the first one first and go to the gas state before any covalent bond breaks ( if it happens).
A temperature increase can increase vaporisation rate if any reaction is triggered that decomposes the liquid into more volatile compounds , but nevertheless, this effect is generally insignificant compared with the effect that temperature has in vaporisation due to Van der Waals forces.
The freezing point depression is calculated through the equation,
ΔT = (kf) x m
where ΔT is the difference in temperature, kf is the freezing point depression constant (1.86°C/m), and m is the molality. Substituting the known values,
5.88 = (1.86)(m)
m is equal to 3.16m
Recall that molality is calculated through the equation,
molality = number of mols / kg of solvent
number of mols = (3.16)(1.25) = 3.95 moles
Then, we multiply the calculated amount in moles with the molar mass of ethylene glycol and the answer would be 244.9 g.
