Answer:

NaI > Na2SO4 > Co Br3

meaning that NaI has the highest freezing point, and Co Br3 has the lowest freezing point.

Explanation:

The freezing point depression is a colligative property.

That means that it depends on the number of solute particles dissolved.

The formula to calculate the freezing point depression of a solution of a non volatile solute is:

ΔTf = i * Kf * m

Where kf is a constant, m is the molality and i is the van't Hoff factor.

Molality, which is number of moles per kg of solvent, counts for the number of moles dissolved and the van't Hoff factor multipllies according for molecules that dissociate.

The higher the number of molecules that dissociate, the higher the van't Hoff, the greater the freezing point depression and the lower the freezing point.

As the question states that you assume equal concentrations (molality) and complete dissociation you just must find the number of ions generated by each solute, in this way:

NH4 I → NH4(+) + I(-) => 2 ions

Co Br3 → Co(+) + 3 Br(-) => 4 ions

Na2SO4 → 2Na(+) + SO4(2-) => 3 ions.

So, Co Br3 is the solute that generate more particles and that solution will exhibit the lowest freezing point among the options given, Na2SO4 is next and the NaI is the third. Ordering the freezing point from higher to lower the rank is NaI > Na2SO4 > CoBr3, which is the answer given.

Acetone major species present when dissolved in water
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: acetone molecule ( CH₃-CO-CH₃)


Explanation:


1) Acetone is CH₃-CO-CH₃


2) That is a molecule (build up of covalent bonds).


3) When dissolved, covalent bonded compounds remain as separate molecules, then it is said that the major species present in the solution is the molecule. The molecules of acetone are surrounded (sovated) by the molecules of water.


This as opposed to the case of ionic compounds that ionize. When a compound as NaCl dissolves in water, it ionizes completely, so the major speceies are not NaCl formulas, but the ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻, not molecules.


That leads to the answer: the major species present when acetone is dissolved in water is the molecules of acetone (you do not need to state the fact that the molecules of water are part of the solution, because that is not the target of the question).
