Answer:

-0.93 °C; 100.26 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Freezing point depression

The formula for the freezing point depression ΔT_f is

ΔT_f = iKf·b

i is the van’t Hoff factor: the number of moles of particles you get from a solute.

For sucrose,

Sucrose (s) ⟶ sucrose (aq)

1 mole sucrose ⟶ 1 mol particles i = 1

ΔT_f = 1 × 1.86 × 0.50

ΔT_f = 0.93 °C

T_f = T_f° - ΔT_f

T_f = 0.00 – 0.93

T_f = -0.93 °C

(b) Boiling point elevation

The formula for the boiling point elevation ΔTb is

ΔTb = iKb·b

ΔTb = 1 × 0.512 × 0.50

ΔTb = 0.256 °C

Tb = Tb° + ΔTb

Tb = 100.00 + 0.256

Tb = 100.26 °C

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but some general explanation provides a clear answer to what is been asked in the question.

An ionic/electrovalent compound is a compound whose constituent atoms are joined together by ionic bond. Ionic bond is a bond involving the transfer of valence electron(s) from an atom (to form a positively charged cation) to another atom (to form a negatively charged anion). The atom transferring is usually a metal while the atom receiving is usually a non-metal.

For example (as shown in the attachment), in the formation of NaCl salt, the sodium (Na) transfers the single electron (valence) on it's outermost shell to chlorine (Cl) which ordinarily has 7 electrons on it's outermost shell but becomes 8 after receiving the valence electron from sodium. It should also be noted that Na is a metal while Cl is a non-metal.
