Answer:

  • <em>The solution of Na₂SO₄ . 10H₂O </em>( choice D)<em>, will have the lowest freezing point.</em>

Explanation:

1) The lowering of the freezing point is a colligative property which means that it depends, and can be calculated from some contants of the pure solvent, and the number of solute particles dissolved.

  • ΔTf = m × Kf × i

Where, ΔTf is the reduction in the freezing point, m is the molality of the solution, Kf is the cryoscopic constant of the solvent, and i is the Van't Hoff factor.

2) Find the molality of each solution, m:

  • Formulae:

       moles of solute, n = mass in grams / molar mass

       m = n / kg of solvent

(A) CuSO₄•5H₂O (M=250)

  • n = 20.0 g / 250 g/mol = 0.0800 mol

  • m = 0.0800 mol / 0.200 kg = 0.400 m

(B) NiSO₄•6H₂O(M=263)

  • n = 20.0 g / 263 g/mol = 0.0760 mol

  • m = 0.0760 mol / 0.200 kg = 0.380 m

(C) MgSO₄•7H₂O (M=246)

  • n = 20.0 g / 246 g/mol = 0.0813 mol

  • m = 0.0813 mol / 0.200 kg = 0.406 m

(D) Na₂SO₄ • 10 H₂O (M = 286)

  • n = 20.0 g / 286 g/mol = 0.0699 mol

  • m = 0.0699 mol / 0.200 kg = 0.350 m

3) Van't Hoff factor.

Since, all the solutes are ionic, you start assuming that they all dissociate 100%.

That means that:

  • Each unit of CuSO₄.5H₂O yields 2 ions in water ⇒ i = 2

  • Each unit of NiSO₄. 6H₂O yileds 2 ions in water ⇒ i = 2

  • Each unit of MgSO₄.7H₂O yields 2 ions in water ⇒ i = 2

  • Each unit of Na₂SO₄.10H₂O yields 3 ions in water ⇒ i = 3

4) Comparison

Being Kf a constant for the four solutions (same solvent), you just must compare the product m × i

  • CuSO₄.5H₂O: 2 × 0.400 = 0.800

  • NiSO₄. 6H₂O: 2 × 0.380 = 0.760

  • MgSO₄.7H₂O: 2 × 0.406 = 0.812

  • Na₂SO₄.10H₂O: 3 × 0.406 = 1.218

As you see from above calculations, the dissociation factor defines the situation, and you can conclude that the last choice, i.e. the solution of Na₂SO₄ . 10H₂O, will have the greatest decrease of the freezing point, resulting in the lowest freezing point.

Magnesium metal (0.100 mol) and a volume of aqueous hydrochloric acid that contains 0.500 mol of HCl are combined and react to c
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

2.24 L of hydrogen gas, measured at STP, are produced.

Explanation:

Given, Moles of magnesium metal, Mg = 0.100 mol

Moles of hydrochloric acid, HCl = 0.500 mol

According to the reaction shown below:-

Mg_{(s)} + 2HCl_{(aq)}\rightarrow MgCl_2_{(aq)} + H_2_{(g)}

1 mole of Mg reacts with 2 moles of HCl

0.100 mol of Mg reacts with 2*0.100 mol of HCl

Moles of HCl must react = 0.200 mol

Available moles of HCl = 0.500 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, Mg is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of Mg on reaction forms 1 mole of H_2

0.100 mole of Mg on reaction forms 0.100 mole of H_2

Mole of H_2 = 0.100 mol

At STP,  

Pressure = 1 atm  

Temperature = 273.15 K

Volume = ?

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

1 atm × V L = 0.100 × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 273.15 K  

<u>⇒V = 2.24 L</u>

2.24 L of hydrogen gas, measured at STP, are produced.
