Answer:
MECHANISM:
1) The lone pair on oxygen attacks the H-Br molecule forming a hydronium ion.
2) Formation of carbocation.
3) Attack of Nucleophile Br − .
Explanation:
Given that 1 mole contains 6.02x10^23 molecules, 3.0x10^23 is just around half a mole. Then we check the number of moles for each choice:
A. This is approximately half a mole, since the molar mass of Br2 is 159.8 g/mol.
B. He has a molar mass around 4 g/mol, so this is 1 mole.
C. H2 has a molar mass of 2.02 g/mol, so this is 2 moles.
D. Li has a molar mass of around 6.97 g/mol, so this is around 2 moles.
Therefore the only choice that fits is A. 80 g of Br2.
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
Characteristic properties are used because the sample size and the shape of the substance does not matter.
