Answer:

The melting point of the solution is - 1.953 °C

Explanation:

In an ideal solution, the freezing point depression is computed as follows:

ΔT_f = k_f \times b \times i

where:

ΔT_f is the freezing-point depression

k_f is the cryoscopic constant, in this case is equal to 1.86

b is the molality of the solution

i is the van't Hoff factor, number of ion particles per individual molecule of solute, in this case is equal to 3

Molality is defined as follows:

b = moles of solute/kg of solvent

Moles of solute is calculated as follows:

moles of solute = mass of solute/molecular weight of solute

In this case there are 100 g of solute and its molecular weight is 35.5*2 + 24 = 95 g/mole. So, the moles are:

moles of solute = 100 g/(95 g/mol) = 1.05 moles

The mass of solvent is computed as follows:

mass of solvent = density of solvent * Volume of solvent

Replacing with the data of the problem we get:

mass of solvent = 1 kg/L*3 L = 3 kg

Finally, the molality of the solution is:

b = 1.05/3 = 0.35 mol/kg

Then, the freezing-point depression is:

ΔT_f = 1.86 \times 0.35 \times 3

ΔT_f = 1.953 C

The freezing-point depression is the difference between the melting point of the pure solvent (here water) and the melting point of the solution. We know that the the melting point of water is 0 °C, then:

melting point of water - melting point of the solution = 1.953 °C

melting point of the solution  = 0 °C - 1.953 °C = - 1.953 °C

Answer:

Melting point of aqueous solution = -10.32 °C

Explanation:

\Delta T_f=i \times k_f \times m

Where,

ΔT_f = Depression in freezing point

k_f = molal depression constant

m = molality

Formula for the calculation of molality is as follows:

m=\frac{Mass\ of\ solute\ (kg)}{molecular\ mass\ of\ solute \times mass\ of\ solvent}

density of water = 1 g/mL

density = mass/volume

Therefore,

mass = density × volume

volume = 3 L = 3000 mL

Mass of water = 1 g/mL × 3000 mL

                        = 3000 g

Molality(m)=\frac{100\times1000}{18\times 3000} \\=1.85\ m

van't Hoff factor (i) for MgCl2 = 3

Substitute the values in the equation (1) to calculate depression in freezing point as follows:

\Delta T_f=i \times k_f \times m\\=3\times 1.86 \times 1.85\\=10.32\ °C

Melting point of aqueous solution = 0 °C - 10.32 °C

                                                          = -10.32 °C

How does the total volume of gas particles compare to the volume of the space between gas particles?
saw5 [17]
Answer:
             There is more space between gas particles than the size of the particles.

Explanation:
                   This scenario can be understand by taking a very simple example. As we know that 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure occupy 22.4 liters of volume. Lets take Hydrogen gas and Oxygen gas, 1 mole of each gas will occupy same volume. Why it is so? Why same volume although Oxygen is 16 times more heavier? This is because the space between gas molecules is very large. Approximately the distance between gas molecules is 300 times greater than their own diameter from its neighbor molecules.

What are the four most common problems that can arise in your motor design?
Nuetrik [128]

Electric motors are an essential part of our daily life as many systems, applications, and services depend on them. Motors today have a long service life and require a minimum level of maintenance to make sure that they perform efficiently. In large buildings, motors have to be maintained on a regular basis because they need to be in operation all the time; one small problem could cause a great loss to the organization.

Usually in large organizations, a motor maintenance program is carried out in which the causes of motor failures are identified and some necessary steps are taken to avoid them or lower their impact. Motors need to be inspected regularly, and other maintenance activities need to be performed to ensure efficient operation. Whenever a problem occurs, it should be corrected immediately to avoid further loss.
