For an aqueous solution of MgBr2, a freezing point depression occurs due to the rules of colligative properties. Since MgBr2 is an ionic compound, it acts a strong electrolyte; thus, dissociating completely in an aqueous solution. For the equation:
ΔTf<span> = (K</span>f)(<span>m)(i)
</span>where:
ΔTf = change in freezing point = (Ti - Tf)
Ti = freezing point of pure water = 0 celsius
Tf = freezing point of water with solute = ?
Kf = freezing point depression constant = 1.86 celsius-kg/mole (for water)
m = molality of solution (mol solute/kg solvent) = ?
i = ions in solution = 3
Computing for molality:
Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184.113 g/mol
m = 10.5g MgBr2 / 184.113/ 0.2 kg water = 0.285 mol/kg
For the problem,
ΔTf = (Kf)(m)(i) = 1.86(0.285)(3) = 1.59 = Ti - Tf = 0 - Tf
Tf = -1.59 celsius

Explanation:
and
.
Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,
First compound:
;
of the first compound would contain
Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a
ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be
where the subscript "1" is omitted.
Similarly, for the second compound
;
of the first compound would contain
and therefore the empirical formula

Answer:
- Question 19: the three are molecular compounds.
Explanation:
<em>Question 19.</em>
All of them are the combination of two kinds of different atoms in fixed proportions.
- C₂H₄: two carbon atoms per four hydrogen atoms
- HF: one hydrogen atom per one fluorine atom
- H₂O₂: two hydrogen atoms per two oxygent atoms
Thus, they all meet the definition of compund: a pure substance formed by two or more different elements with a definite composition.
Molecular compounds are formed by covalent bonds and ionic compounds are formed by ionic bonds.
Two non-metal elements, like H-F, C - C, C - H, H-O, H - H, and O - O will share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their valence shell. Thus, the three compounds are molecular and not ionic.
<em>Question 20. </em>Formula of copper(II) sulfate hydrate with 36.0% water.
Copper(II) sulfate is CuSO₄. Its molar mass is 159.609g/mol
Water is H₂O. Its molar mass is 18.015g/mol
Calling x the number of water molecules in the hydrate, the percentage of water is:

From which we can solve for x:

Thus, there are 5 molecules of water per each unit of CuSO₄, and the formula is:
