Answer: here is your answer
Explanation:
The oxygen family consists of the elements that make up group 16 on the periodic table: oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. These elements all have six electrons in their outermost energy level, accounting for some common chemical properties among them.
I'm not completely sure on this and I apologize if it's wrong, but I believe it's B) Newton's Law.
The answer is C.
The vast difference in electronegativity of the oxygen and hydrogen in water, the O-H bond is polar.
Answer: CoBr3 < K2SO4 < NH4 Cl
Justification:
1) The depression of the freezing point of a solution is a colligative property, which means that it depends on the number of particles of solute dissolved.
2) The formula for the depression of freezing point is:
ΔTf = i * Kf * m
Where i is the van't Hoof factor which accounts for the dissociation of the solute.
Kf is the freezing molal constant and only depends on the solvent
m is the molality (molal concentration).
3) Since, you are assuming equal concentrations and complete dissociation of the given solutes, the solute with more ions in the molecular formula will result in the solution with higher depression of the freezing point (lower freezing point).
4) These are the dissociations of the given solutes:
a) NH4 Cl (s) --> NH4(+)(aq) + Cl(-) (aq) => 1 mol --> 2 moles
b) Co Br3 (s) --> Co(3+) (aq) + 3Br(-)(aq) => 1 mol --> 4 moles
c) K2SO4 (s) --> 2K(+) (aq) + SO4 (2-) (aq) => 1 mol --> 3 moles
5) So, the rank of solutions by their freezing points is:
CoBr3 < K2SO4 < NH4 Cl
