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.

Based on your knowledge of intermolecular forces and trends, select the statement that is most accurately compares HF and HCl.
tangare [24]

Answer:

(A) The intermolecular attraction between HF molecules are stronger than between HCl molecules mainly to due hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

Since Flourine is highly electronegative and as such, when it bonds with Hydrogen it forms a hydrogen bond. Whereas the HCL molecule  is a polar molecule whose inter-molecular forces are dipole dipole interactions. Although a Hydrogen bond is a type of dipole dipole interaction it is stronger than the traditional dipole dipole forces and London dispersion forces. HF also has a shorter bond length which makes the bond and inter-molecular forces  stronger as compared to HCL.
