A substance with at least one hydrogen atom that can dissociate to form an anion and an H+ ion (a proton) in aqueous solution, thereby foming an acidic solution.
A substance that produces one or more hydroxide ions (OH−) and a cation when dissolved in aqueous solution, thereby forming a basic solution.
Answer:
(D) Na₂SO₄•10H₂O (M = 286).
Explanation:
- The depression in freezing point of water by adding a solute is determined using the relation:
<em>ΔTf = i.Kf.m,</em>
Where, ΔTf is the depression in freezing point of water.
i is van't Hoff factor.
Kf is the molal depression constant.
m is the molality of the solute.
- Since, Kf and m is constant for all the mentioned salts. So, the depression in freezing point depends strongly on the van't Hoff factor (i).
- van't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass.
(A) CuSO₄•5H₂O:
CuSO₄ is dissociated to Cu⁺² and SO₄²⁻.
So, i = dissociated ions/no. of particles = 2/1 = 2.
B) NiSO₄•6H₂O:
NiSO₄ is dissociated to Ni⁺² and SO₄²⁻.
So, i = dissociated ions/no. of particles = 2/1 = 2.
(C) MgSO₄•7H₂O:
MgSO₄ is dissociated to Mg⁺² and SO₄²⁻.
So, i = dissociated ions/no. of particles = 2/1 = 2.
(D) Na₂SO₄•10H₂O:
Na₂SO₄ is dissociated to 2 Na⁺ and SO₄²⁻.
So, i = dissociated ions/no. of particles = 3/1 = 3.
∴ The salt with the high (i) value is Na₂SO₄•10H₂O.
So, the highest ΔTf resulted by adding Na₂SO₄•10H₂O salt.
Hey there!
Compounds with ionic bonds have higher melting points because of the forces needed to break through the strong forces of attraction holding it together.
Compounds with covalent bonds have lower melting points because less energy is needed to break the weaker forces of attraction.
So, your answer is C. Compound 1 is ionic, and compound 2 is molecular.
Hope this helps!
North Pole ,land is the answer
