When dT = Kf * molality * i
                = Kf*m*i
and when molality = (no of moles of solute) / Kg of solvent
                               = 2.5g /250g x 1 mol /85 g x1000g/kg
                               =0.1176 molal
and Kf for water = - 1.86 and dT = -0.255
by substitution 
0.255 = 1.86* 0.1176 * i
∴ i = 1.166
when the degree of dissociation formula is: when n=2 and  i = 1.166
a= i-1/n-1 = (1.166-1)/(2-1) = 0.359 by substitution by a and c(molality) in K formula
∴K = Ca^2/(1-a)
     = (0.1176 * 0.359)^2 / (1-0.359)
     = 2.8x10^-3

Why is photosynthesis an example of chemical change, and why is it classified as endothermic?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

It is an example of chemical reaction because carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen. If that makes any sense.  and it is classified as endothermic because it requires the input of energy in the form of solar energy.

A gas mixture with a total pressure of 745 mmHg contains each of the following gases at the indicated partial pressures: CO2, 24
Setler79 [48]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For Part A:</u> The partial pressure of Helium is 218 mmHg.

<u>For Part B:</u> The mass of helium gas is 0.504 g.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For Part A:</u>

We are given:

p_{CO_2}=245mmHg\\p_Ar}=119mmHg\\p_{O_2}=163mmHg\\P=745mmHg

To calculate the partial pressure of helium, we use the formula:

P=p_{CO_2}+p_{Ar}+p_{O_2}+p_{He}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

745=245+119+163+p_{He}\\p_{He}=218mmHg

Hence, the partial pressure of Helium is 218 mmHg.

  • <u>For Part B:</u>

To calculate the mass of helium gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas:

PV = nRT

or,

PV=\frac{m}{M}RT

where,

P = Pressure of helium gas = 218 mmHg

V = Volume of the helium gas = 10.2 L

m = Mass of helium gas = ? g

M = Molar mass of helium gas = 4 g/mol

R = Gas constant = 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = Temperature of helium gas = 283 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

218mmHg\times 10.2L=\frac{m}{4g/mol}\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 283K\\\\m=0.504g

Hence, the mass of helium gas is 0.504 g.

Why the is ratio of magnesium ions to chloride ions in MgCl2 is 1:2?
Monica [59]
You should read up on Proust's law, better known as the Law of Definite Proportions. This is a chemical law that defines your question more generally, on why the ratio of elements and ions are always fixed.

Basically, this compound Magnesium(II) Chloride is MgCl2 because it has the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons all the way. This defines the properties of the compound or atom.
