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.

Acidity is a measure of the amount of dissolved hydroxide ions in a solution.
Gekata [30.6K]

The concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is a measure of its acidity. So the correct option is (b) false.

When an Arrhenius acid is dissolved in water, hydrogen ions are produced:

H+(aq) + A- = HA + H2O (aq)

Here, H+ is the hydrogen cation, A- is the solvated anion, also known as the conjugate base, and HA is the non-dissociated acid. When an Arrhenius base is dissolved in water, hydroxide ions are produced:

BOH + H2O → B+(aq) + OH-(aq)

Is a material with at least one hydrogen atom that has the ability to split apart in an aqueous solution to produce an anion and an H + ion (a proton), creating an acidic solution. Bases are substances that, when dissolved in water, create hydroxide ions (OH) and a cation, resulting in a basic solution.

For the following electron-transfer reaction:
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

Explanation:

Main reaction: 2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq)

In the oxidation half reaction, the oxidation number increases:

Mn changes from 0, in the ground state to Mn²⁺.

The reduction half reaction occurs where the element decrease the oxidation number, because it is gaining electrons.

Silver changes from Ag⁺ to Ag.

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

To balance the hole reaction, we need to multiply by 2, the second half reaction:

Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

(Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)) . 2

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s)  

Now we sum, and we can cancel the electrons:

2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
